Woman

Others have seen a woman in the Moon. The Samoans tell the story of Sina, who once during a famine was outside at night pounding bark into cloth with a mallet and board. The Moon rose, and its appearance reminded her of a giant breadfruit. Sina said to the Moon, “Why can’t you come down, and let my hungry child have a bite of you?” The Moon was greatly offended but came down nevertheless, only to take Sina, her child, mallet, and board back up into the sky.
