Mr. Nat does not want anybody to discover who he is: he cuts his beard and hair, he changes his Christmas clothes into his new, elegant, Italian suit. Despite his efforts to disguise himself, the children recognize him easily.

The surprising thing, even for Santa Claus, is that only children and few adults can see his deers. Most of the adults could not see them, because they do not have Santa Claus in their hearts anymore. For them Santa Claus is merely a man called Mr. Nat.
