A doctor recommends a surgical procedure whereby the head is removed from the body and the heart is kept beating by artificial means so as to lengthen the time available for surgery. No one listens to him though, and being tired of being mocked, he destroys his formula. As he removes his head from his torso, he says to himself "The world isn't ready for us."

An innkeeper keeps two large wolves in the cellar which devour curious guests so he can claim their valuables.

A man attempts to build a clock that can run forever by repairing itself, but no one understands why and mocks him, until he runs out of time and the undertaker pulls by his clothes to reveal he had replaced his inner organs with clock mechanism.
