one such story goes like this; The Head of Gods Indra , Invites Lord Ganesha to a extensive meal and Ganesha on his way to Devaloka i.e to Indra’s house on his Vehicle Mooshika the Mouse, Mooshika was not able to take the Whole weight Lord Ganesha and in the process Lord Ganesha Falls on the Ground due to the imbalance.
All Along this was happening the moon who was shining bright in the night sky , saw Ganesha falling down on the ground and laughed uncontrollably infuriated by this slur, Lord Ganesha broke off his left tusk ( Tooth) and threw it to the moon.
