Once upon a time, there was a little rabbit named Kaka. She had smiling eyes like ruby, a small mouth like the crescent moon, and a dainty and exquisite nose. When she smiled, all kinds of flowers would bloom, lovely and peaceful.
Kaka was always pleased to help others. When she knew the little deer Lulu was ill in hospital, she visited her with some fruit and helped her with her study. When the little turtle Manman was nearly late for school, she lifted him up and helped him to get to school in time. Everyone loved her. Her kindness moved the goddess in the moon Chang’ e. She flew down and prepared a test for Kaka. If Kaka was kind enough, she would take her to the moon to company her and make Kaka a fairy. While why did Chang’ e choose her? Living on the moon alone, Chang’ e was very lonely. She needed a friend. As a beautiful and kind young lady, she wanted a friend similar to her.
Chang’ e disguised herself as an old lady. She walked slowly on the street. When she was to across the street, Kaka saw her and went to arm her to the other

side. After that, Chang’ e pretended to fall down. Also, Kaka quickly helped her to stand steadily.“ You are a pretty good girl, darling. What’ s your name?” asked Chang’ e.
“ My name is Kaka. It’ s my pleasure to help you, granny” answered Kaka.“ Oh, good girl.” said Chang’ e,“ I’ m lost. I can’ t find my home. And it’ s too late. I have nowhere to stay tonight.”
“ It’ s terrible.” Kaka blinked her eyes and said,“ What about staying at my home tonight? You can sleep on my bed!”
“ Really?” asked Chang’ e,“ But what about you?”“ It’ all right!” answered
Kaka,“ I can sleep with my mother.”“ Thank you.” Chang’ e smiled and they together went to Kaka’ s home then. At night, Kaka woke up, and she saw there was some glimmer shown in her room.“ What’ s wrong with the granny?” She was so worried and quickly got out of the bed and ran to her home to see what was happening.
“ Granny, are you OK?” asked Kaka.
“ I’ m all right.” answered Chang’ e. Then it appeared a beautiful and young lady in front of Kaka. Kaka was shocked. She knew that lady should be Chang’ e because she was just the same as people said.“ Oh my god!” Kaka
said to herself.“ You are quite a good girl, Kaka. You are kind, warmhearted and beautiful both in appearance and mind. I love you so much. Would you like to go to the moon with me and be a little fairy? I want to be your best friend and live with you.”
“ Oh, that’ s my pleasure!” Kaka said excitedly with joy.
From then on, the moon was not longer desolate. Kaka accompanied Chang’ e. She helped Chang’ e to make herbal medicine every day under a cherry bay. That’ s their life, happy and full of love.
