El misteri de les oques / The misterious obsession with geese

            IN ENGLISH BELOW THE LINE

Una cosa força curiosa que vaig trobar a Cracovia, sobretot en aquesta parada prop de les antigues muralles, fou l'inmens nombre de peluixos d'oques blanques que hi ha. De fet, no venen rès més! I pel que sembla el mateix es pot trobar en altres llocs de Polonia. 

He buscat per internet però no he trobat cap explicació lògica, però no sembla pas una tradició. L'animal de Cracovia és el drac de Wawel, i el de Polonia, l'àguila.

=====================

One rather curious thing I found in Krakow, especially at this shop near the old walls, was the huge number of stuffed white geese there. In fact, they don't sell anything else! And apparently the same can be found elsewhere in Poland. 

I searched the internet but couldn't find any logical explanation, but it doesn't seem like a tradition. Krakow's animal is the Wawel dragon, and Poland's, the eagle.
