From Visayan legend retold.
Every time when thunderstorm occurs, the mystic midget dragon lizard climb down from its abode, the coconut tree, to kiss the ground in order to suck energy generated by the thunderstorm. This supernatural creature has an arch enemy called the flaming cat. This flaming cat resides among the clouds and when it spotted this midget dragon lizard on the ground it will attack its enemy by flying like a flash of lightning.
When the midget dragon lizard saw the the streak of lightning coming to its position, it will escape by hurriedly climbing the coconut tree and hide among its branches.
The flaming cat will then chase the dragon by climbing also the tree and devour the dragon. But before it can consume the his arch enemy, the dragon had already prepared a violent fire within its body.
And the eaten dragon will then explode inside the stomach of the flaming cat, shattering both of them as well as the crown of the coconut tree.
As for warning for the children during thunderstorm, the folks told them to stay away from the coconut tree.
