- There was a man travelling long ago. He was a poor scholar. He was very wise and understood everything about the moon and stars. He stayed in a house one night where there was a baby born. As the child was born he went out and looked at the moon and stars. He said if they could delay the birth of the child because when he would grow up he would be drowned. The people of the house only laughed at him. When the child grew up he was drowned at the age of twenty one years.
