The rich Mr Viola is travelling with his grand-daughter Claudie just as she wanted. In tramp style they are sleeping outside and eating whatever they can scrounge. In fact Viola has made a secret agreement with the Globus travel company to improve conditions slightly - for example whenever Claudie has fallen asleep, he gets his bed and a glass of wine on the bedside table. This time, however, a real - and really rough - tramp is sleeping in his bed in a scrapyard. Fortunately Claudie is charmed by her granddad's "victorious" brawl with fake toughs. At a French market her grandfather exchanges a diamond ring for a small baguette. In a branch of the travel agency he then angrily demands his money back for poor services and is taken away by the police. Mr Tau falls into the hands of the wicked director of the Apollo Circus, and he decides to put him on show with his miniaturizing charm. In their search for food, Viola and Claudie arrive at the same circus. They almost eat the bananas meant for the monkeys, and then have to pay for it in hard work. They feed the animals, Viola cleans the elephant, and Claudie washes linen. Pan Tau secretly lets children in through the back of the tent to see the circus. Participation in an acrobatic number completely flattens grandfather and Claudie no longer wants to travel either. Thanks to one of Mr Tau's spells, they both find themselves back home in the castle. The old gentleman already knows what it is that children really want and so has the knowledge to decide properly on the future activities of his firms. Meanwhile he makes a paper bird and Claudie enthusiastically catches it.
The tale was presented as part of the compilation Mr Tau and a Trip around the World together with the tales Mr Tau Will Arrange It and Mr Tau and a Trip around the World.
