AYC: Once again, there is something we learn from that story. We can assume it actually happened (the Rambam would think we’re crazy, but he probably thinks we’re all crazy anyway). But that Midrash assumes that the moon had the Bechirah to complain, doesn’t it? (Actually, the Rambam probably believed that the celestial spheres had some level of intelligence so he might like this story better than a lot of others.)
