Summary

The man in the moon.

This is a religious legend that says that Mary sent Christ to Joseph with a basket of food. He stopped to rest because the basket was heavy. He saw a man approaching and asked him if he would carry the basket some of the way for him. The man said he would rather be in the moon. He disappeared, and it was said he was sent to the moon and that he could be seen there.
