“Polish Fairytales”

“The true patriot is one who is not satisfied with everything in their homeland, a man who wants and fights for it, that it was better.” -Charles Dickens

Text at the last panel is a poem by Władysław Bełza. It’s a poem children learn to recite at school. 

Who are you?
A little Pole.

What’s your sign?
A White Eagle.

Where do you live?
Between my kin.

In what country?
On Polish soil.

What is this land?
It’s my homeland.

How was it gained?
With blood and scars.

Do you love her?
With all my heart.

And what do you believe in?
I believe in Poland.

What are you to her?
Her graceful child.

Do you owe her something?
I owe my life.
