Summary
  • Thimble Theatre: Castor sees a man sitting on a rock in the desert saying "water! Water!" over and over again. He feels bad for him and walks 10 miles to a cactus and finds a hatful of water and takes it back to him. He wants so badly to drink it himself but saves it for the man. The man puts his feet in the water. Castor is so angry he hits the man.
  • Sappo: John is upset because all Myrtle does is paint. He decides to criticize her work. She tells him dinner is ready. He sits down at the table and tries to cut into his steak. It is a picture she painted, not a real steak. She laughs.
