Simple Drama on “The Jade Rabbit”

In this simple drama we will tell the audience about a story on the Jade Rabbit which is a Chinese folktale story about a rabbit who sacrificed himself in order to give food for the old men.
In this legend, three fairy sages transformed themselves into pitiful old men, and begged for food from a fox, a monkey, and a hare. The fox and the monkey both had food to give to the old men, but the hare, empty-handed, jumped into a blazing fire to offer his own flesh instead. The sages were so touched by the hare's sacrifice and act of kindness that they let him live in the Moon Palace, where he became the "Jade Rabbit".

We would have to create a 15 minutes simple drama on it, you are free to do anything but it should not be too complicated. No complicated props or costumes are needed maybe have only simple signs telling who is the goddess, the fox, etc.

You are free to do it anyway you like as long as you tell them to story and occupy fifteen minutes :)
You guys are to prepare the whole drama and have scholars to act them out :) Let me repeat the it DOESN'T HAVE TO BE VERY COMPLICATED
