Summary
  • A man is watching a horse eat from his feed bag. He decides that might help him with his stomach problems. He brings home a bag and dumps his complete dinner in the bag, ties it around his head and starts eating. His wife thinks he has gone mad. In the last panel, the wife wakes up from her dream. Her husband is glad she is awake because she was screaming in her sleep.
