When the countryman had driven away， one of them said， "We could make some use of this lamp， we have an oak-tree at home， which is just as big as this， and we could hang it on that。 What a pleasure it would be not to have to feel about at night in the darkness！" "I'll tell you what we'll do，" said the second； "we will fetch a cart and horses and carry away the moon。 The people here may buy themselves another。" "I'm a good climber，" said the third， "I will bring it down。" The fourth brought a cart and horses， and the third climbed the tree， bored a hole in the moon， passed a rope through it， and let it down。 When the shining ball lay in the cart， they covered it over with a cloth， that no one might observe the theft。 They conveyed it safely into their own country， and placed it on a high oak。 Old and young rejoiced， when the new lamp let its light shine over the whole land， and bed-rooms and sitting-rooms were filled with it。 The dwarfs came forth from their caves in the rocks， and the tiny elves in their little red coats danced in rings on the meadows（草地）。
