The Story of the Rabbit on the Moon
Back when the bamboo grew so think that it blocked the sun for miles, there lived a Rabbit who could make the best moo-shoo in the world. One day Rabbit was just finishing up a batch of his moo-shoo when Bear came to the door of his den. Bear asked Rabbit if he could have the moo-shoo but Rabbit was very hungry and only made enough for himself. Knowing that Bear would not leave until he had gotten his way, Rabbit went out the back door of his den and ran into the forest.
Rabbit thinking that he would finally get to eat his moo-shoo settled down but it was not long before a Fox came and asked Rabbit for his moo-shoo. Rabbit, seeing how hungry the Fox was, did not hesitate to tell the Fox that there was a whole wok of moo-shoo back in his den and that he should help himself. Fox quickly ran off to Rabbit's den and the Rabbit and his moo-shoo, both nearly escaping being eaten, ran off further into the forest.
But poor Rabbit continued to encounter more and more animals who wanted to eat his moo-shoo. Rabbit was approached by a Rat, Eagle, Tiger, Lion, Panda, Monkey, Parana, Snail, Horse, Bat, Dragons, Birds of all sorts, Unicorns, and Faeries. Rabbit continued to escape each one by sending them all back to his den but no matter were he went there always seemed to be someone who wanted to eat his moo-shoo.
Rabbit was so sick of being bothered and since he was so hungry and only had enough moo-shoo for himself, he decided to trek up the highest mountain, in order to escape the others. But his plight did not end on the mountain. There he was approached by Goat, Mountain Sheep, a Lonely Hermit, a Monk, and even a Yettie! But Rabbit escaped each one by saying that there was more moo-shoo back at his den and they should all help themselves.
After awhile, Rabbit thought that he had escaped and at this point Rabbit was on the very top of the highest mountain and the sun slowly began to set. But Rabbit looked below him before it became completely dark and noticed that all the animals that had wanted to eat his moo-shoo had all figured out there was none left and were coming after him.
So Rabbit, almost losing hope that he would never get to eat his dinner, made the biggest jump he had ever made in his whole life or anyone of his kind had ever made, and jumped straight for the moon on the horizon. So now when you look at the moon, especially when it is full, you can see Rabbit with is box of moo-shoo and chop sticks, finally enjoying his dinner.
