Adventures with a Naked Boy

A man shares a tram ride with a boy who is without clothes after his garments were stolen during a bathing outing. The man has looked after him and is escorting him home. At first, no one notices them, but as soon as the crowd perceives something out of the ordinary, reactions begin to flare. Some accept a straightforward explanation for why the boy is without clothes. Others grow agitated, deeming the scene inappropriate. What might have been a routine incident passed over in silence descends into a heated argument that spirals into a fight. More and more people join in until the police are forced to intervene.
