Picture	Segment	Description
	Cold Opening	Nils is organizing his notes so he can remember what to do during the day. He hangs the notes up with magnets that look like carrots on a white metal board. He explains to the viewer how the magnets work. He notices a note that says that at 12:00 Mehmet is coming to help fix his bike, then looks at the watch and concludes that it's soon.
	Intro
	Scene	Mehmet arrives to help repair Nils' bicycle. Mehmet is impressed with how Nils has organized his notes. After they leave. Pferd arrives in the shop looking for Nils. He notices quite a few delicious looking carrots on a white board, and decides to taste one of them. Pferd thinks that it was not the best carrot he ever tasted, but it was good enough and that Nils probably would not mind him tasting a few more, and he clears the board. He then notices more of those carrots laying on the counter, and he eats those as well. Afterwards, a spoon gets attracted to Pferd, due to the magnets. Pferd feels something hit him, but doesn't know what it is. As he leaves the store to look for Nils, Mehmet's oil can gets attached to him as well and he leaves a trail of oil behind him.
	Scene	Over at the house, Mehmet asks Nils for the oil can for the bicycle chain. They notice that they must have forgotten that in the shop, and they go back to get it. Meanwhile, Pferd is in Nils' house looking for him, and he is starting to feel a bit strange; he seems to be getting heavier and heavier. He has still not noticed that his back is covered with all kinds of metal objects. Back at the shop, Nils and Mehmet can't find the oil can and all of Nils' carrot magnets are gone. Mehmet notices a trail of oil, which they decide to follow.
	Scene	A wrench gets attached to Pferd's nose. He tries to shake it off with no luck, then notices all of the objects on his back. Then he goes closer to Nils' bicycle and he gets attached to that as well. Nils and Mehmet arrive and separate Pferd from the bike. They tell him that he looks like a trash heap. Pferd says that he does not know what's going on and starts to think that he might be cursed. Nils asks him if he by any chance ate some carrots from the shop. Pferd starts to object, but then admits it. Nils tells Pferd that those were not real carrots, they were just magnets. Pferd does not know what magnets are, so Mehmet tells him about magnets, and Pferd is relieved to learn that he is not cursed. As Nils and Mehmet start to wonder how they can get the magnets out of Pferd, he farts and leaves a few horse droppings containing the carrot magnets.
