She soon brought him a bowl of cold peas porridge, and the man was so hungry that he took a big spoonful at once.
But no sooner had he put it into his mouth than he uttered a great yell and began dancing frantically about the room, for of course the porridge that was cold to earth folk was hot to him, and the big spoonful of cold peas porridge had burned his mouth to a blister.
What's the matter?
asked the woman.
Matter cried the man.
Why your porridge is so hot it has burned me.
Fiddle sticks, she replied.
The porridge quite cold.
Try it yourself, he cried.
So she tried it, and found it very cold and pleasant.
But the man was so astonished to see her eat the porridge that had blistered his own mouth that he became frightened and ran out of the house and down the street as fast as he could go.
The policeman on the first corner saw him running and promptly arrested him, and he was marched off to the magistrate for a trial.
What is your name?
asked the magistrate.
I haven't any, replied the man.
For of course, as he was the only man in the moon, it wasn't necessary he should have a name.
Come come, no nonsense, said the magistrate.
You must have some name.
Who are you?
Why, I'm the man in the moon.
