Moon Riddle

Apparantly this riddle was found on a stone tablet on the moon. I think Buzz Aldrin found it. Anyway, it wasn't in english, but defying all logic and reason rhymed perfectly once it was translated.


A being grabbed three tiny spheres and hid one in a brook.
Then he paused, and gave the two remaining orbs a look.
"Where shall I hide the other two? They shall not all be wet."
So he travelled far and gave one to the first man that he met.
Then he thought, "It is not fit that man should find all three.
It might be wrong," the creature thought, "but the last shall stay with me."
So he put it in his pocket, and returned from whence he came.
Three spheres inside three different homes, not two of them the same.
