The next morning, the father and son-in-law are surprised to find that their wife is still in bed. She has a headache, and the father is worried that she will die if she leaves the room. He tells his son- in-law to bring the medicine to her, but the young mistress refuses to take it. The father tells his boy to go to the drugstore and buy the medicine for his wife, and he promises not to tell anyone about the ingredients of his wife's medicine. He then wonders why the rabbit is staring at him, and wonders why he has to stuff something in her mouth. He notices that the rabbit does not eat carrots, which disgusts him the most.
