Several days passed, and again the inhabitants of Shilda gathered under the old thick linden tree: they had to consult how to start their buffoonery, so that the news about it would immediately spread throughout the whole world.
After much debate, they decided: since from now on all life in Shilda will flow along a new channel, then first of all it is necessary to build a new town hall using common forces and community funds. And that Town Hall must stand on the ground stronger than the strong: after all, no matter what nonsense is said in it, no matter how much buffoonery is happening, it must stand!
The idea itself was not so stupid and extravagant, but it was impossible for the Schildburgers to dump a whole bag of nonsense from the very first day: people would immediately guess that they were doing it for fun.
Remembering that they have always been savvy, the Schildburgers decided to first slightly cover up their buffoonery, and after time, when the opportunity presented itself, to turn around with all their might. By the way, having decided to start the business with the construction of a new town hall, the Schildburgers took the example of their parish priest.
This priest, when he was appointed to the post, first of all demanded that a new pulpit be erected in the church, and from the strongest oak, otherwise it would suddenly collapse under the weight of the arrogant words with which the holy father so loved to equip his sermons, proclaiming the word of God.
The Schildburgers rejoiced greatly at their wise decision and immediately set to work without delay, vowing not to give up on their idea and to build the town hall right up to the ridge.
