The story tells about performing dana parami (the perfection of generosity) of the Buddha. When Bodhisatta was born as a wise rabbit who sacrificed his life. The rabbit lived in the forest. One day, Indra transformed himself as a brahmin walking to the rabbit. The brahmin asked for food from the rabbit.
The rabbit said that I do not have food, if you want you should eat me. The rabbit told him to make a fire, then the rabbit jumped into the fire. But the fire was cold. So, the rabbit did not die. Then the brahmin said “Wiseman! I am not brahmin, I am Indra. I come here to test your mind. Your goodness must be always presented. Then Indra drawed a picture of the rabbit on the moon.
