Summary	Sappo: John is looking at a piece of futuristic art Mrs. Sappo (Myrtle) painted. John looked at it and thought he could do that too so he got a blank canvas and painted. When Myrtle returned he told her Mr. Smears, professor of the Futurists Academy left a picture he painted for her. She got really excited and finally John told her he painted it. She hits John over the head with the canvas. Thimble Theatre: Castor is lost in the desert. He spots a stranger and asks if he could spare a little drink of water. The stranger only had 4 drops left and could not give him any but sold him his dog, Snits, who he says is a water hound. Snits leads Castor on a water trail for hours and finally Castor sees water. He goes to drink the water but finds out it is the Pacific Ocean.
