Mr Tau Arrives

The slim gentleman with a smile on his face, dressed in a cutaway with a flower in his lapel and wearing a bowler on his head, flies in a red rocket marked Tau-01 through the infinite universe. The cry of a child attracts him to the Earth. Upon his landing on a children's playground in Prague, he finds a little girl who has received a new sledge but cannot enjoy it since most of the snow has already melted. With the help of his magic bowler, Mr Tau makes a pile of the remaining snow and in it, a tunnel into which he invites both the girl and the other children from the neighbourhood. Arriving at the end of the tunnel, the children find themselves in mountains covered with snow, where everybody can enjoy sledge-riding lavishly. At the end of the day, the children return home through the same tunnel and with them runs also a snuggling dog who found a glove the boy Emil lost. Mr Tau, out of curiosity, visits the dog beauty salon with the snuggling dog and yet another one who had joined them on the way. There, however, the new visitors cause great confusion. The alarm brings over a man from the animal prison who takes the two dogs away. But Mr Tau jumps on the footboard of his car and after confusing the guard, he frees not only the new prisoners but also all the other animals. The mongrel is put by Mr Tau on the balcony of the flat where little Emil lives with his parents, grandfather and sister.
