The Poppers live in a house at the outskirts of the city. The construction of new houses and roads reaches till here. Leo Popper is a scatterbrain he has all the time new plans and ways to get rich again and fill the pantry in the way they had it before the war. The war took away from him brothers Vilém and Hugo who died in a concentration camp in contrast to him. Because of them and also he wants to be somehow “show off” in front of his cousins in Ontario he breeds champagne rabbits. His wife Hermínka takes care of the poultry and she supports his husband devotedly. One day Mr. Bláha takes Mr. Popper to an exhibition of petty animals. The breeder places his darling to cages. At first the jury likes very much his steel like grey rabbits. But then they find out that the animals don’t have the obligatory increased pedicure of legs so they are expelled from the competition. The offended and sad Popper lets the rabbits out in the free nature. Then he is walking long through the snowed landscape. He gets home in a bad condition. He is planning to have a mushroom farm. But Hermínka has to call an ambulance, and the seriously ill man is brought to hospital. Geodesists meting out places for new constructions are standing directly at their house.
