Once on New Year's Eve, Gosha met a strange old man who called himself an inventor. He kept his last invention in a suitcase and willingly determined with the help of this device the area and degree of giftedness of each person. He predicted the career of a clown to Gosha, but Gosha did not believe it and, contrary to the recommendations, became a journalist.
