This pumpkin was known as the thunder-pumpkin, for it was said to possess the power of the thunder and the lightning. Its orange skin was as hard as steel, and its vines stretched out for miles, twisting and coiling like bolts of electricity.

Suddenly, from its stem, a bolt of lightning shot out and struck the rabbit, lifting him high into the air.

The rabbit was amazed, he discovered that the thunder-pumpkin was not dangerous but quite helpful. It had the ability to fly and it could be used as a mode of transportation. The rabbit told the other forest creatures of his discovery, and soon the thunder-pumpkin became a beloved treasure among the animals.

The forest creatures were devastated, thinking they have lost their dear friend. But when the storm cleared, they found that the thunder-pumpkin had transformed into a magnificent tree, with branches that reached to the sky and roots that dug deep into the earth. And from that day on, the thunder-pumpkin became known as the Tree of Life, for it gave life to all the creatures of the forest.
