Rosa gives Wally a pouch on which she has embroidered a drawing so that he will always remember her when he goes on a trip. Wally accepts her gift even though he is not going on a trip. Meanwhile, in Olga's house, Dokko chooses a sweater in the catalog that Olga will knit. Rosa comes to the house and informs Olga that she gave Wally a pouch. Olga is satisfied because the pouch that she had been embroidering for a long time finally turned out to be useful. Rosa is worried that the gift is not true because Wally is not going on a trip. Olga calms her down and says that the most important thing is that Wally does not forget her here and now. Dokko hears her words and complains that he often forgets to do various things. Carlin suggests that he write notes, but Dokko says that he has already tried to do this but forgot to read them. Olga suggests tying knots instead, and, for example, ties a knot on a tablecloth. Then, when Dokko unties them, he will immediately remember why he tied them. Dokko asks why she tied this knot. Olga remembers that she forgot to take the pies off the stove, but it turns out that they burned down and the whole house is filled with smoke.

Olga is sitting in an armchair and knitting a sweater while Rosa and Carlin are repairing her sooty house. Dokko takes things out of the house, and Carlin and Rosa ask him to bring them a brush, nails, and a roller. Dokko ties knots on the fringe of his plaid and goes to get tools. Meanwhile, Carlin uses a rope to lift the closet off the ground and ties the rope to the pegs. Dokko returns with the tools, but Carlin discovers that he brought screws instead of nails, and Rosa claims that she asked for a spatula. Dokko unties the knots and tries to remember why he tied them while his friends go to lunch. He notices the knot that Carlin has tied and, not understanding why he needs it, unties it. The wardrobe breaks down and covers Rosa, Olga, and Carlin.

Wally approaches Olga's house and looks for Rosa. Dokko asks him to help him lift the closet, and then he will be able to see her. Dokko and Wally together lifted the closet from which their friends got out. Wally scolds Rosa for forgetting about their walk together. Rosa makes excuses that she had too much to do, and then Wally gives her the pouch as a keepsake. Olga remembers that she knitted a sweater for Dokko and puts it on the scientist. Wally notices that the sweater is too big, but Olga replies that the size does not matter. The main thing is that the thing is made with love, for memory. It turns out that Olga embroidered a daily routine for Dokko on the sweater.

Tropes:

  • Friendship Trinket: The pouch that Rosa gives to Wally so that he will always remember her.
  • Reminder Failure: Dokko often forgets to do various things even if he is writing notes or tying knots.
