- “Cheenk” an ironic tale, ‘The Sneezer’ cannot apologize enough to a blustering general for sneezing on his head at the opera. ‘The Clerk’ cannot redeem himself of guilt and fears demotion.
- “Surgery” Story of a man with a toothache faced with an inexperienced dental assistant who attempts his first tooth examination.
- “The Gift” A tale of a dedicated father who thrusts his shy, 19-year old son into manhood by taking him to a house of ill repute, only to relent at the last moment and leave the boy more perplexed than ever.
