In ancient times no moon was in sky 

the sky was black

once upon a time

four man went to in a country to a trip 

they reached another country 

when it was dark

they saw a tall tree with a ball

of soft silver light hanging from it

they ask the a native to passing

if it was a light in a tree

the native told them it was a moon 

which their chief had bought with 3 coins

at middle night the four man stole the moon

and put it in their carriage 

covering it with a piece of clothing

they carried the moon to their country 

and hung it on a tall oak

since then the night were bright and moonlit 

so all the people were happy

many years later one of the man was ill and dying

he said that a quarter of the moon belonged to him

and he wanted to take it into the tomb

when the died they cut a quarter of the moon 

to put in the coffin

the other three man also wanted to be buried with their share of the 

moon when they died 

so it was done as they wished

when the last one died the sky was dark

in the heaven the 4 man rose from their graves 

and put the moon back together 

the people in heaven sang danced drank and enjoyed themselves

their noise spread in throughout heaven

he thought the people had rebelled

he took his horse and rode quickly to the place

when he got there he ordered all the dead to lie in their tombs

he took away the moon to hang back in the sky

from this time on ,the moon belonged to the people on earth
