The drawing is from an old Disney movie, "Fantasia," in which Mickey plays "The Sorcerer's Apprentice." His job is to carry two pails of water from the stram that runs though the bottom of the Sorcerer's cave to a huge vat the Sorcerer cooks God knows what in, over and over again--till the vat's full. One day, when the S. is out, M. find his magical hat, puts it on, and commands the broom to carry the two pails. He directs the broom for a while, and then falls asleet (PICTURE)--but the broom doesn't stop. You can just see the water lapping around the stairs where Mickey is sleeping. M wakes up, tries to cut the broom into splinters--but each splinter grows a new broom! Soon the whole place is swimming in water, and Mickey is about to get sucked down into a whirlpool, when the S comes back, sees what has happened, and rectifies the situation with a few sweeping arm gestures. Then he gives Mickey a REALLY dirty look, and literally kicks him out.
