ReplyDeleteGracias.
Delete5 years for a loaf bread?? geez, people who stole bread must be very HUNGRY...poor dude.
ReplyDeleteI remember that back in the days of the Hapsburg Empire, they would take peasants from my Vojvodina, mostly Serbs, and would send them as soldiers to defend the empire (which they did not really see as theirs) in battles with Germany and they would send them into battle with little food and other things, if one of those soldiers would steal a cabbage from some Austrian farm they would hang him. A hungry soldier who fights for that very Austrian farm would get hang because he was dying of hunger. Crazy stuff happened and still happen. Our dictator, for example, just arrested some students who were sending help to the people in south whose homes were destroyed by fires that the dictator did not stop even though he could have.
DeleteWill this one be a musical?
ReplyDeleteNo, the French are not weird like that.
DeleteAnother Les Miserables? Haven’t there been several done in recent years?
