The moon on the ground
There is man who are forbidden to look up. It was his master's order to never look up, he need to follow that order for he is a slave or else he'll get a beating. So for the rest of his life since the day he was born he never look up. He never see what is the sky look like even the night sky. Even though he is lying down he need to close his eyes to never look up.

One day, he is getting a water for his master's bath into a well nearby his master's house. He is a hardworking man, but today he think he is going to collapse. When he get the bucket from the well, he accidentally pour the water on the ground. For the first time, he saw the night sky. He saw the moon, the stars. He is mesmerized by it. He kept looking at it. He nevermind the beating from his master. He is happy.

He tried to touch it into the water but the water became angry. So he stops trying.
He wisphered "I want to touch you, I want to know what does it felt like to you? What are you called? You are so bright even though you are so tiny" he said to the stars. "And you are so amazing" he said to the moon.

As he is looking to it. A strange bright light appear beside him. When he look at it. It was a beautiful woman covered with nothing but mud.
