There was a very serious moment the other day in our Chinese Folktale  - The Lady of the Moon -  Would you like to live on the Moon for the whole of eternity with a bunny rabbit for company?

'Soon the elixir began to take effect and Chang’e felt herself being lifted toward Heaven. She decided to live on the moon because it is nearest to earth.
Houyi was very sad while watching as Chang’e flew off to the moon. He called out her name to the moon as it grew very round and bright.'
