1978 Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film. 　　Before leaving for work, Ryan's wife reminded him to clear the snow in front of their house, but Ryan never listened to his wife's instructions. When he returned home, he discovered that a poor mailman had slipped and broken his neck on their doorstep. After causing the trouble, Ryan quietly put on the mailman's uniform to deliver the mail, leaving the mailman at home. However, he was mistaken for a thief and arrested by the police. To make matters even more coincidental, the mailman happened to be his wife's lover. When the wife returned home and saw her lover lying naked in the house, what would she do? 　　The story continues absurdly yet calmly. Until the following winter, Ryan still hadn't cleared the snow in front of the house.
