Wally sits down under a tree and is about to write a poem but falls asleep. Through a dream, he hears a noise and, opening his eyes, sees that Olga came to him with a backpack-kitchen. After eating his lunch, Wally complains that a lot of time is spent on food and sleep that could be spent more usefully.
The next day, Wally gets out of bed and goes to brush his teeth, but suddenly he has an idea. He comes to Olga and tells her that he decided not to brush his teeth for five months and thus save up a whole day of extra time. Olga does not understand why he needs so much time, and Wally tells her that he will spend it on creativity.
Five months later, Wally's teeth are in terrible condition, but he is very glad that he now has a whole day free. Wally sits down under a tree to write a poem, but suddenly his teeth start to hurt, and he runs to Olga as fast as he can. Olga treats his teeth and reminds him of the importance of cleaning them. Wally goes outside and sees that his saved day has come to an end. Olga tells him not to eat for two hours, and Wally is glad that he saved some time by skipping dinner.
