One day, the Orange Rabbit came into possession of a gourd.

In imagination, the gourd begins to grow larger.

The rabbit ties the gourd to itself, turning it into a waist-boat, drifting freely across rivers and lakes.

* Inspired by Zhuangzi · Free and Easy Wandering:

Huizi said to Zhuangzi, “The King of Wei gave me seeds of a great gourd. I planted them, and the fruit weighed five shi… Cut open to make ladles, they were too large to hold anything.”

Zhuangzi replied, “Why not think of it as a great vessel and float upon the rivers and lakes with it, instead of worrying that it has nowhere to fit?”)
