action
Mark, a boy who lives with his family on the outskirts of Munich , has just celebrated his twelfth birthday and went to sleep when he suddenly discovers a strange boy of the same age at his window. This stranger introduces himself as Rhonn and claims to come from the future and to be in trouble. Mark, who of course doesn't believe him at first, thinks the stranger is a burglar and it takes some persuasion to convince him that Rhonn really comes from another time and needs help. His time machine , as he calls it, crashed in the gasoline age. In order to fly back into his presence, Rhonn needs mercury. Fortunately, Mark can get some, and as a thank you Rhonn takes him on a trip back in time. Both travel first to Vienna to Mozart to visit, and then to London at the time of Henry VIII. , But not meet him but his daughter Elizabeth, who later Queen of England will be. After this event, Rhonn wants to repair the machine, since without mercury it can only fly further into the past, but not into the future. To his horror, he finds that the opening to replenish the mercury supply contains two openings. Rhonn doesn't know which one to fill the mercury into. You decide to seek advice from a wise man. Since the machine can only travel back, they fly to Greece , to antiquity, to look for Archimedes . But you only meet Socrates , who can convince the boys that it doesn't matter which opening they put the liquid into. After all, there is no evidence in the history books that a time machine from the future was ever stranded in antiquity .
