The Man in the Moon came tumbling down,
And enquired the way to Norwich;
He went by the south and burned his mouth
With eating cold pease porridge!

What! Have you never heard the story of the Man in the Moon? Then I must surely tell it, for it is very amusing, and there is not a word of truth in it.

The Man in the Moon was rather lonesome, and often he peeked over the edge of the moon and looked down upon the earth and envied all the people who lived together, for he thought it must be vastly more pleasant to have companions to talk to than to be shut up in a big planet all by himself, where he had to whistle to keep himself company.

One day he looked down and saw an alderman sailing up through the air towards him. This alderman was being translated (instead of being transported, owing to a misprint in the law) and as he came near the Man in the Moon called to him and said,

"How is everything down on the earth?"

"Everything is lovely," replied the alderman, "and I would n't leave it if I was not obliged to."

"What 's a good place to visit down there?" enquired the Man in the Moon.

"Oh, Norwich is a mighty fine place," returned the alderman, "and it 's famous for its pease porridge;" and then he sailed out of sight and left the Man in the Moon to reflect upon what he had said.

The words of the alderman made him more anxious than ever to visit the earth, and so he walked thoughtfully home, and put a few lumps of ice in the stove to keep him warm, and sat down to think how he should manage the trip.

You see, everything went by contraries in the Moon, and when the Man wished to keep warm he knocked off a few chunks of ice and put them in his stove; and he cooled his drinking water by throwing red-hot coals of fire into the pitcher. Likewise, when he became chilly he took off his hat and coat, and even his shoes, and so became warm; and in the hot days of summer he put on his overcoat to cool off.

All of which seems very queer to you, no doubt; but it was n't at all queer to the Man in the Moon, for he was accustomed to it.

Well, he sat by his ice-cool fire and thought about his journey to the earth, and finally he decided the only way he could get there was to slide down a moonbeam.

    Jadi ceritanya ada Pria di Bulan, dia tinggal sendiri disana, dia suka iri sama orang-orang yang tinggal di Bumi dimana mereka hidup bersama-sama dibanding sama dirinya yang hidup sendiri di planet seluas itu. Suatu hari ada kakek (elderman(?) yang berlayar ke arahnya. Trus dia nanya gimana sih itu di bumi, dijawab "semuanya menyenangkan di bumi, dan aku tidak ingin meninggalkannya jika tidak diharuskan". Trus Pria itu nanya tempat yang bagus disana, kakeknya jawab di Norwich (di Inggris bagian Timur) yang juga terkenal dengan bubur gandumnya (pease porridge). Dan kakeknya pun pergi. Akhirnya dia memasukkan es ke kompor biar dia tetep hangat sambil duduk dan memikirkan gimana harusnya dia mengatur perjalanannya nanti. 
    Pokoknya di bulan tempatnya dia itu beda, kebalik sama kita. Kalau dia mau hangetin badannya pake es, tapi kalau mau dinginin badannya pake api.
