The following is the onJy Kafir story which Mr. Rose was able to 
procure :— 
Story of the Moon. 
One day the sun and moon were bathing in a tank, when a man, 
carrying a bedstead, and his dog, passed by, returning from his field. 
They asked him which of them, (the sun or moon), was the more 
beautiful. He replied that both were equally beautiful ; but again and 
again they asked him, and finally he said that the sun was a little 
more beautiful than the moon. On hearing this, the moon became angry, 
and took the man, with his bedstead and dog, away to the sky, where 
they still live in the moon
