Summary:

Emil is a boy who lives with his mother. Mum is sometimes at work in the evenings, and then Emil has to go to the grocery store to eat meat soup or pasta. One day, Emil sees a man who reminds him of a pelican. The man interests Emil so much that he forgets to get  back the change when paying for a soup. Mother is sad at night because she has little money and Emil behaved irresponsibly. Emil, however, cannot think of anything else than thinking of a man.
