The fat man tells the poor man that he hopes he does not get too fat, because he will not be able to escape. He also tells him that the news about the man with the demented face has been spread around, and that the man will be eaten by his boss. The man asks the fat man how he became a turnip, and the man replies that he used to be like a human being, but that he is not. He then tells the man that before he became fat, he was a famous superstar, who always was in the limelight. He asks the man if he is as pathetic as he is, and if he thinks he is an ordinary person, then he should be friends with him.
