Poverty:
\nYou\u2019re not being serious now! You\u2019re turning this into a farce, a bad comedy! You know very well that the sort of people that I create are far better than those created by Wealth! Both, the brain and the body of my men are far superior to those of Wealth. What do his men look like?Look at them: Limping around with gout, a fat bum, grotesque fat guts, swollen legs\u2026 you feel like puking just by looking at them! Now look at mine. See there? Lovely, slender body, the waist of a wasp, unbeatable in battle!<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Chremylus:
\nMaybe they get their waspy waist from endless starvation, ey?<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Poverty:
\nAnd let me tell you another thing about the poor. They are modest and civil, whereas the rich are all arrogant.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Chremylus:
\nModest and civil means digging holes in walls and robbing people.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Blepsidemus:
\nWhy not, if you can steal without getting caught? That\u2019s civil, isn\u2019t it?<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Poverty:
\nCheck out the politicians if you want. In every country. When they\u2019re poor, they\u2019re doing all sorts of good things for the public but then, when they become rich on public money, they all become real crooks. They scheme and plan and commit all sorts of vile wrongs on the poor folk.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Chremylus:
\nWell, you\u2019re not wrong there, even though you are a sly old witch. Still, don\u2019t think that your punishment is going to be any softer by trying to convince us that poverty is better than wealth!<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Poverty:
\nBut what about you? You haven\u2019t managed to prove the opposite, have you? All you\u2019re doing is waffling about crap and flapping your hands about as if they\u2019re the wings of some giant bird!<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Chremylus:
\nSo, tell me this then: Why does everyone run away from you?<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Poverty:
\nBecause I try to make better people out of them. They behave just like kids do when they run away from their father who\u2019s wise and wants to make them better grownups. Just like the kids, they find it too hard to understand the difference between good and evil.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Chremylus:
\nSo you\u2019re saying that Zeus isn\u2019t wise, are you? Because that god is filthy rich!<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Blepsidemus:
\nYeah, he\u2019s rich all right but what is he doing for us, poor folk? He goes and sends this witch to us!Thank you,ZEUS!<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Poverty:
\nSick little brains! Antiquated, blind brains! You\u2019re both wrong!Zeus, in fact is very poor and I\u2019ll prove it to you. Wealthy he\u2019s not, otherwise, at the Olympic games, which are held every four years and where the cream of the Greek athletes gather to compete, if he was rich, he wouldn\u2019t be crowning the winners with wreaths made of mere wild olive branches! If he was truly rich, he\u2019d be crowning their heads with wreaths made of pure gold!<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
