Former
There’s a stick next to the sun, reflecting on its former glory. The stick used to be a great tree, and the stick thinks that if it stays by the sun long enough it might return to its former form as a towering tree.
Pretend you are the stick. Really focus on your former self as you feel the sun warm you with its rays. Imagine yourself growing, larger and larger.

It's working, it's working! The stick is returning to its former state and... w-wuh? It sprouted a cucumber (きゅう).
I guess this stick was formerly a cucumber tree. Or maybe it just tried so hard it pooped a cucumber. I don't care which one is true, you pick whatever you want to believe.
