There is no Freedom without Dwarfs

‘Break it up!’ shouted a militiaman through his megaphone.
‘Move along now!’
The crowd applauded.
‘Anyone who doesn’t take off their dwarf hat must show their ID papers!’
The crowd roared with laughter.
‘Take off your hats!’ repeated a militiaman through his megaphone. However, further reinforcements were approaching from the Market Square. Large heavy vehicles, called budy (black Marias) were arriving. It was becoming crowded.
‘Mum, why are they arresting dwarfs?’ asked a child.
‘Because dwarfs belong to capitalism, and not to socialism,’ came the reply.
