After Un trovatello a casa del diavolo et Trovatello Due, La Carota (The Carrot) is the third text in which Ginetto the rabbit appears, a character invented by Gigio Brunello. The first episode told how Ginetto, an orphan, was found in front of the puppeteer's hut; the second celebrated his first birthday. Now, Ginetto
goes to school and is going through a difficult time because of his uncle Harlequin's existential angst. Like many other of Brunello's works, La Carota was conceived in collaboration with Gyula Molnár.

In school, Ginetto titled his essay "The Uncle is Dying." His uncle Harlequin is indeed tormented by an irrational fear of carrots, which forces him to stay in bed and causes him moments of delirium. His fiancée Columbine, who is pregnant, is overwhelmed by grief, and Doctor Balanzone thinks he is going to die. Brighella would like to take advantage of the situation to obtain the script of Harlequin's good jokes, but the latter does not want to give it to him. Brighella therefore hopes that Balanzone's predictions are correct, but he will be disappointed: Harlequin, through an evocation worthy of a psychoanalysis session, will recover the memory that traumatized him in his childhood, thus curing his phobia of carrots. The show ends with another happy ending: the birth of Harlequin and Columbine's son.
