Roll at the railing to get the Piece of Heart

After going into the Lumpy Pumpkin, go to the second floor balcony where you can see the chandelier. Dash and roll towards the railing, and the chandelier should be swinging once you hit it. Keep rolling towards the railing until a cutscene shows that you've smashed the chandelier, dropping rupees and a Piece of Heart.

Talk to Pumm

At this point, talking to an angry Pumm on the ground floor of the Lumpy Pumpkin after you've smashed the chandelier will trigger the side quest. He will ask you to do some tasks to help compensate for his broken chandelier.

Job 1: Deliver Pumpkin Soup to the Knight Commander

Your first task is to Deliver Pumpkin Soup to the Knight Commander. First, you must already have an empty bottle. One can be obtained for free by speaking with the Luv, the poitions dealer at the bazaar.

How to Get All Empty Bottles

Empty bottle in hand, speak with Pumm to recieve the Hot Pumpkin Soup. Take the bottle of soup to Eagus at the Sparring Hall at Skyloft, which is located just Northwest of the Knight's Academy (where you obtained the Practice Sword). You must arrive within five minutes and deliver the soup, or it will go cold and you will have to restart.

Job 2: Carry a Stack of Pumpkins to Storage

Don't drop any of the Pumpkins

For your second task, you need to carry a stack of pumpkins on the Pumpkin Landing's storage area without dropping any of them. This task can only be started after completing the Earth Temple.

Carefully shift your weight

The key to not dropping any pumpkins is to move forward towards your left, then take a step to the right so the pumpkins all start to shift right. Once they do, continue forward and left until you get to the storage room.
