A fat man who wishes to lose weight without giving up overeating goes to Korumbu for a magic potion. Korumbu tells him it is too dangerous at first, but when the fat man threatens to sic the authorities on the gypsy camp, Korumbu gives him the potion. He drinks, and passes out. When he comes to, the gypsy camp is gone, and he finds the potion has worked too well. He is constantly losing weight and if he stops stuffing his face even for a moment, he is in danger of wasting away to nothing. He spends the rest of his days searching for Korumbu.
