He sleeps in a cemetery, where a gravedigger discovers him, and calls the police. Luckily for Karel, the policeman releases him on parole, but the policeman urges Karel to obtain a job, and shelter. Karel then encounters many interesting characters, and eventually decides on becoming a poet. But, he is unable to find shelter.
