PATACRUA / ANDRES, KRISTINA
A mean and ambitious king who spends hours
counting his wealth; a man and a woman
who have less than the spiders; a village
of peasants who have been cheated
by the monarch; and a cooking pot that goes
from one place to another gathering
and sharing out among the disadvantaged
what, in justice, corresponds to them.
Amusing traditional Danish story probably
written with the idea of amusing and consoling
those who only had fantasy at hand to entreat
destiny. A homage to Daniel Castelao,
a great defender of social justice.
