A Hawaiian tale explains that a woman got tired of working and went to the Moon to rest by walking on a rainbow bridge.
A Native American story tells how a frog jumped to the Moon to escape a wolf that was madly in love with her.
In the Japanese version of an Indian tale, the god Sakra disguised himself as a beggar and asked a monkey, a fox and a rabbit for food. The rabbit offered its own body as food and jumped into a fire. Sakra saved the rabbit for its generosity and took it to the Moon, where it works making mochi (rice cakes).
The Kimbundu tribe of Angola see a frog who acted as messenger between the king of Earth and the king of the Moon.
One Mexican tale explains how two gods wanted to be the Sun. As only one god could become the Sun, a rabbit is thrown into the face of one of the two gods, making it darker and turning it into the Moon.
