Les Escargots

A gardener wishes for his plants to grow, but he's faced with a difficult time in getting them to sprout. He tries everything that he can think of to get the plants to grow, including magnets and balloons, but after crying over one of his plants, he discovers that he really needs to water them. Using an onion, a skull and some physical pain for inspiration, the farmer is able to cry enough tears to get the plants to sprout, but his crop falls victim to some hungry snails.
