Krakonos a svec

Long ago, when the mighty mountain spirit Rubezahl ruled the Giant Mountains, a cobbler lived there with his wife. She had her hands full with him, for he couldn't stop stealing. When she saw no way out, she called on the mountain spirit for help. He taught the cobbler a lesson and turned him into a scarecrow. Now the thief stood helpless in the rain and cold and had to experience firsthand what it was like to be robbed. Soon he regretted his actions and swore never to steal again.
