Moon Rope

The birds carry the rope up to the moon. Then mole and fox climb up the rope. Fox is determined to climb high but Mole keeps looking back and he slips and falls back to the Earth. The creatures laughed at Mole. So Mole dug a deep tunnel and stayed there "for a long, long time." That's why Mole stays deep underground. But if you look closely at the Moon you just might see Fox. This is a Peruvian folktale.It's written in English and Spanish.
