                     4-Ganesha punishes Moon !


    Ganesha fell down from the Mouse

It was on Ganesha Chaturthi.Ganesha was riding on his
little rat and suddenly a snake crossed his path.The rat was terrified and ran off in fright due to which Ganesha fell down in a thorny bush.

The Moon was looking at this from the sky.the Moon laughed loudly at the funny sight of Ganesha's falling down,It annoyed  Ganesha so much so that he decided to punish the Moon.Angrily he broke one of his tusks and threw it at the Moon.

As it struck the Moon,Moon lost the brightness.Then the moon went off. The world  became dark.People were scared and they screamed and wept.All the Gods  in heaven were worried by this confusion.They prayed to Ganesha," please give back the Moon the brightness, "The Moon  also  repented.

The Moon fell at Ganesh's feet and prayed to be forgiven.Ganesha relented but he wanted to teach Moon a lesson.So he said, "the first fifteen days of every month,you will get bigger and then the next fifteen days,you will become smaller and smaller.

At the end of the  month you will look  like my tusk.And on the day of  Ganesh Chaturthi  the  person who looks at the Moon will have an  allegation of  theft on him.
