If you are unfamiliar with the story behind (not that I am that familiar either) but it's roughly about a heavenly couple who was banished to earth.. The guy (Houyi) became a great archer and was given a holy pill to become a deity again after he managed to shoot down 9 suns before it was going to scorch the earth. He needed to fast for at least a year before consuming the pill so he kept it under his pillow.
One day, Chang'e (the lady) his banished-from-heaven-wife found it and consumed the pill without bearing any knowledge of what could happen and she began to levitate. It was too late for Houyi as when he got back, she was already flying towards the moon. In the end she was stuck there after she coughed out the pill
The moon rabbit is actually something like a chemist for the heavenly beings and he was told by Chang'e to make a pill in order to get her back to the earth. However, the rabbit I drew is making mochi (rice-cake) instead (it's the same rabbit but it's japanese version of the rabbit)
But the rabbit is also a recurring character, hahaha, check it out here http://luimenta.blogspot.com/2010/04/happy-easter-2010.html
Here's Prof W's rough story about Mid Autumn Fest for your better understanding
