The Rabbit on the Moon

Story Summary

A fairy tale about a rabbit living on the moon helping children on the earth.

In far - away Britain, there is a wonderful story about the rabbit on the moon. Legend has it that high up on the moon lives a very special rabbit. This rabbit is snow - white all over, with long ears and eyes like bright stars. It lives in a small mushroom - built house on the moon, and around the house are planted moon - flowers that glitter.

One day, the children on the earth got into trouble. A huge storm swept through their small town, and many houses were damaged. The children were all very frightened and helpless. This kind - hearted moon rabbit saw the disaster on the earth from the moon and decided to help the children.

The rabbit jumps towards the earth

The rabbit stood on the edge of the moon, took a deep breath, and then jumped hard, leaping towards the earth. Its figure cut a white arc in the vast universe. When passing through the atmosphere, the rabbit's fur was a bit messy because of the wind, but its eyes were still firm.

The rabbit landed in the small town, and the children were astonished to see this visitor from the moon. The rabbit wasn't the least bit afraid. It began to use its magic. It waved its little paws, and those houses damaged by the storm slowly returned to their original state. The broken tiles went back to the rooftops, and the collapsed walls stood up again.

The rabbit helps the children plant trees

However, the area around the town had become bare. It was because there were no trees for protection that the town was so severely ravaged by the storm. The rabbit had a new idea. It brought magical seeds from the moon. The rabbit led the children to dig small pits around the town and then planted the seeds. The rabbit blew gently, and the seeds quickly sprouted and grew. In no time, they grew into towering trees. The branches and leaves of the trees were lush, like big green umbrellas, sheltering the town from the wind and rain.

The rabbit also helped the children rebuild their gardens. It used magic to make the flowers bloom again. The colorful flowers swayed gently in the breeze, giving off a charming fragrance. The children were extremely happy. They sang and danced around the rabbit.

The rabbit returns to the moon

The rabbit saw that the town had regained its vitality and the children were smiling again. It knew that its task was completed. The rabbit said goodbye to the children and then slowly rose into the sky, flying towards the moon. The children watched the rabbit's receding figure, full of gratitude in their hearts. They knew that on that far - away moon, there was a kind - hearted rabbit that would always be watching over them. Since then, whenever the children looked up at the moon at night, they would think of this magical rabbit and their hearts would be filled with warmth.
