A man found found a rabbit cutting down his cornfields, caught him, and was going to kill him, when the rabbit said he could help the man survive. "It will rain and rain," he said. "Make a wooden house in which you, your children, your animals and possessions can float." The man heeded the rabbit and was ready when the rains began. When he and his family entered the ark, the rabbit went on top of it. Eventually the rains ceased and the ark came down, but the rabbit stayed up on the moon. When the ark landed, the man could not go out right away because the mud was so deep. Finally, they went out and found dry firewood so they could cook tortillas.
