A tale of magical transformation. Its hero, young Solomon, is an ordinary rabbit--we.. ordinary in every respect but one: whenever he scratches his nose and wiggles his toes at exactly the same time, he turns into a rusty nail. To turn back into a rabbit, all he has to do is think: 'I'm no nail, I'm a rabbit!' This leads to practical jokes and some serious trouble.
