Or do it as follows, so you can iterate over all occurences:

do
local function vnext(value)
    return function(table, key)
        local k, v = next(table, key)
        while k and v ~= value do
            k, v = next(table, k)
        end
        return k, v
    end
end

function vpairs(table, value)
    return vnext(value), table
end
end

x = {"aap", "noot", "mies", zoo = "aap", heat = "vuur"}

for k in vpairs(x, "aap") do
    print(k)
end
