Naive story about young bride who tries to decide which one of her admires: a broom or a fisherman, she should be with until it’s not too late.

A minor official, Jonas Shatas, saved an apothecary who had fallen into the river. The whole city found out about it. Jonas felt like a hero. It seemed already close to the realization of a dream - marriage to the daughter of the boss. However, Jonas plan was not destined to come true. Having taken the chief, who was floundering merrily in the water, for a drowning man, Jonas decided to stun him before starting to rescue him.

An eccentric and buffoonish tragicomedy and a satirical pamphlet, making fun of chauvinism and petty politicians.
