Fricot finds his father asleep and takes advantage of the opportunity to pour down his parent's hack a handful of itching powder.

To his amazement he discovers that the blows have a salutary effect and he submits to the thrashing. When the women finally leave him alone he arises well pleased, as his affliction has been overcome.
