Ville the hungry clown

Ville searches the shed for props, but is upset by all of the “shit” it contains, finding none of it helpful.

He then raids the kitchen, and finds what appears to be a layer cake, which he uses as the canvas for his animals. He breaks a chunk of the cake into three bite-sized pieces, covering each of them with a stripe of whipped cream. He explains that these are “Finnish zebras”, which he claims possess thicker white stripes than normal zebras.

Ville casts himself as the clown, using a construction helmet topped with a headband made to look like cartoon frog eyes as his clown hat, and half-heartedly dancing around before falling onto an inflated whoopie cushion.

At some point, Ville swaps out his frog eye headband for a headband made to look like bunny ears, and starts to provide voices to the zebras (which eventually causes Pilvi to break). The first zebra asks to be eaten, so the clown obliges. The remaining zebras are happy to be able to nourish the clown, but wish that they could be better at their job. A solution is found by making their stripes larger (meaning Ville adds more whipped cream to each piece).

Ville is not shown eating his elephant, but based on the items on the table in front of him, he appears to have made it out of pickles.

Having finished eating the animals, Ville completes his story by saying that the zebras are “galloping in the savannah in the sky”.
