In Germany there are the Schildburger, from the town of Schilda, and in the backcountry south of Warsaw, Poland, there are Chelmites, who come from a small Jewish village, named Chelm. In Ireland, stories are told about a foolish man named Sir Gaulard, and there are pedants in almost every country. In the old days, these stories brought joy to the dull and hard life of the people.\u003cbr\u003eEven today, these stories still make us laugh. After laughing at these people, we might ask ourselves, are we modern people, who consider ourselves wise, sometime just as foolish or even more foolish than those ancient people?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Qiliang Feng","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47113338061040,"sku":"2940152538762","price":1.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940152538762_p0.jpg?v=1764023113","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940152538762","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
