The king was surprised the girl talked to him. So, he handed the pills to the girl. She did not say anything but swallowed all of them. The king was extremely angry. He wanted to kill her.

 

At this moment, the girl started to fly. She could fly because of the pills. The king could not catch her, but watched her fly toward the moon and disappeared.

After that, people believed that there was a beautiful girl who lived on the moon with a little old man and a bunny. The old man was believed to be the god inside the moon and the bunny was his pet. Day after day, Chinese believed that there were people living in the moon and that their footsteps on the moon created the dark spot of the moon. People used to worship the girl to glorify her chastity. So, the day when there is a full moon in mid-Autumn became a festival in order to remember her.
