The sheeps see the moon reflected in the river and believe it is trapped in the water. They invite the ducks, cows, hens, and horses to help rescue the moon by getting a boat. All the animals walk together saying "Poor moon!". They get a boat and row to rescue the moon, but when they reach it, they fall into the river. They then look up and realize the moon was in the sky the whole time.
