| One evening, the clever man, Huojia went to fetch some
water from the well. To his surprise, when he looked into
the well, he found the moon sunk in the well shining.
"Oh, good Heavens, what a pity! The beautiful moon
has dropped into the well!" so he dashed home for
a hook, and tied it with the rope for his bucket, then
put it into the well to fish for the moon.
After some time of hunting for the moon, Haojia was
pleased to find that something was caught by the hook..
He must have thought it was the moon. He pulled hard
by the rope. Due to the excessive pulling, the rope
broke into apart and Haojia fell flat on his back. Taking
the advantage of that post, Haojia saw the moon again
high in the sky. He sighed with emotion, "Aha,
it finally came back to its place! What a good job!
He felt very happy and told whomever he met with about
the wonderment proudly without knowing what he did was
something impractical.
