A stingy man eats the pits of some cherries, causing a tree to grow on top of his head. When crowds start converging on his head and be noisy, he uproots the tree, creating a lake. After that, a lot of anglers converge on this lake, and his head is too noisy again and fish hooks are hooking to the man sometimes. So this man throws himself into a pond to commit suicide.
