A fairy-tale from the famous Werich's "Fimfarum". The protagonists are the stingy Barka and the other citizens of Dejvice where nothing is given but everything is stolen and envied. So it is more a current story then a fairy-tale. Like all of Werich's fairy-tales, this one is also full of humour and wisdom. The commentary was performed by the author himself.
