Thus, he decides to unite the two concepts...by constructing a public urinal in the centre of town. There is one problem, however. The chosen locale is next to the village church, and this outrages the ecclesiastical party. z kategorie Knihy | Cizojazyčná literatura | English literature | Fiction and Literature od Folio naleznete ne e-shopu KnihyDobrovsky.cz!
