GNOMES Gnomes have always lived in Wroc?aw. The chronicles confirm their elusive presence at the start of the settlement, just after the year 1000. Gnomes helped people after dusk - they stitched on buttons, repaired shoes, milked cows Gnome history recalls a few outstanding figures and particular places on the map of “little” Wroc?aw. Holler, a shy gnome, lived in the northern part of town and spoke only in whispers. Dwarfen adored sidewalk ants and St-John’s-wort ice cream. For some centuries the Muchobor brothers enjoyed a great deal of fame and came to Wroc?aw to try out the condyles served hot These small folk enjoyed sitting in the ice-cream shop on what is presently Mickiewicz Street, Both the big people and the small ones liked going to Jatki. The big ones didn’t only stop by A Butcher gnome who was famous for his profession lived on Jatki. Apparently he even ran his own inn, where you could drink some excellent beer and eat some of that famous rat ham, a real gnome delicacy! A year ago, the Wroc?awians made a monument to him. The Butcher was standing Unfortunately, the Butcher was snatched away by the big people! Other Wroc?aw gnomes were spirited away as well... Two Syzyfeks, residing on ?widnicka Street, have been rescued twice over. Fencer, the University guard, has also been found. Only the Jatki Butcher is still being held. The gnomes say that they’ll find him too, though, and they’ll lay terrible curses on the next six generations of the kidnapper’s family. The Butcher is still being searched for, and the gnomes eagerly await the re-opening of the Jatki inn. |
