They all looked up

THIS IS A story about a pig and a monkey.  The  pig and the monkey were making a farm. When they  were preparing the ground, it came to the day when  they were felling the big timber. The monkey looked at the pig's axe and noted that it was very sharp  indeed. 

      So the monkey said, "My friend, may I borrow  your axe for a while?" 

      "Friend, if you borrow my axe, how will I be able  to continue my work in felling these trees?" said the pig. 

      "Please," pleaded the monkey. "When there are  two moons I'll return it." 

      "Alright," said the pig. So he took his axe, and  loaned it to the monkey. 

      The pig waited and waited. Then he got fed up  with waiting. Still the monkey had not returned it.  After a long time the pig went to enquire. 

      "Friend, where is my axe?" asked the pig. 

      "I can't return it yet. I told you I would return it  
when there are two moons. That's what I said. There  
is only one moon now and two," replied the monkey. 

      "Oh, well, if that's the way it is, Friend, I'll accept it.  
I'll go and tell my friends," said the pig. 

      "Yes, that's right, you go," said the monkey. 

      So the pig went, and as he went, he cried mouring for his axe. He met the wild ox, and he said, "Help me. 
I lent my axe to the monkey. 'I'll borrow it, Friend', he  
said. And now it is a long time since and still he has not  
returned it. He said, 'Two moons and I will return it,'"  
said the pig. 

      The wild ox answered, "If that's the case, Friend, if  
he does not want to return it we'll gather all the animals  
and judge the case." 

      "Yes," said the pig. So they went and gathered  
together all the animals. They called the monkey. 

      "Monkey, is it true that you borrowed the pig's axe?" 

      "Yes, I said I'd return it when there are two moons 
showing." 

      "That's true, Pig. There is only one moon appearing  
now. When there are two moons showing he will return  
it." 

      The pig cried, mourning for his axe. 

      They parted, and the pig went off, still crying. He 
met the mousedeer. 

      "Friend, why are you crying?" asked the mousedeer. 

      "I am mourning for my axe, Mousedeer. It has been  
borrowed by the monkey, and he has not returned it to  
me yet. 'Two moons and I'll return it,'" he said. 

      "Oh, if that's the case, Friend, do you want me to  
judge the case?"  

      "Well, I'll gather all the animals," said the mousedeer. 

      So they went, and they called the monkey, and all  
the animals. All the animals of the earth gathered together. 

      "All of you who are here now, can you hear what the  
pig is saying?" asked the mousedeer. 

      "Yes," answered the animals. 

      "He is accusing the monkey of borrowing his axe.  'Two moons and I'll return it', said the monkey.  It appears that there is only one moon now.  Let's go to that stony spot by stream over there." 

      "Yes," agreed the pigs, the wild ox, and the others.  They all got up and went. 

      "Now I'll judge between the two of you.  Monkey, do you agree to be judge by me?" asked the mousedeer. 

      "Yes," said the monkey. 

      "Friend pig, do you agree to be judge by me?" 

      "Yes." 

      The mousedeer asked the animals, and they all wanted it, too. 

      The moon was shining at that time.  "Look up," said the mousedeer.  They all looked up. 

      "Is there a moon?" 

      "Yes." 

      "Can you all see it?" 

      "Yes." 

      "Now, look into the water.  Is there a moon there?" 

      "Yes." 

      "Did you all look down?" 

      "Yes," said all the animals. 

      "Well, how many moons are there?" 

      "Two." 

      "Where are they?" 

      "One is in the sky, and the other is on earth." 

      "Now I have proved that there are two moons.  Monkey, kindly return the pig's axe to him." 

      The monkey cried because he had been tricked by the mousedeer who had acted on behalf of the pig.  He had been outwitted by the clever mousedeer.
