STORY 2 - Lord Ganesh and the moon :
On the day of Ganesh Chadhurthy, Lord Ganesh to many sweets given by his devotees and his stomach was full. He sat on his mouse and was travelling back. The mouse couldn't bear the extra weight of Ganesha, so it missed the balance and the Lord Ganesha fell on the ground.
The moon, which was seeing all this from the sky, started laughing at Lord Ganesha. Lord Ganesha became very angry upon this. He broke his left tusk and threw it at the moon. He also cursed the moon that no devotees of him would look at him the Ganesh Chadhurthy day. This is the reason, it is said that we should not look at the moon on the Ganesh Chadhurthy day.
STORY 3 - Lord Ganesha and Mahabharata :
It is believed that Lord Ganesha helped Guru Vedvyasa to write Mahabharata story as the guruji narrated it. One day the holy pen which they used to write the Mahabaratha was lost. To continue writing in such an holy pen, Lord Ganesha immediately broke his left tusk and wrote the remaining of Mahabharata with it.
As per our Hindu Tradition, the Mahabharatha or Jaya was narrated by Sage Veda Vyasa and was written down by none other than our God Ganesha. Before writing the Mahabharatha God Ganesha had put forth a tricky condition to Sage Vyasa.
