  1. (continued from previous page)
    there lived a man who had a lot of money. During the war he was afraid of being robbed.
    One moonlight night he went out to hide the money. He stood opposite the moon and he said when the war would be over he would know where to get it.
    When the war was over he went out to get his treasure. Everywhere he stood he was opposite the moon and he never got his treasure.
