The Legend Of Miss Piotrkowska from Lodz, Poland

Mister Leszczynski – a very handsome and young bachelor from Leczyca, had great abilities to sketch. His domain was making the plans and the maps of new places, which could become factory settlements. More and more new places appeared, which made Leszczynski was famous in the village. A daughter of the pharmacist caught an eye on him. They met from time to time until they fell in love. He thought about her during days and dreamt at nights. He could not forget her.

Then he thought to present her portrait on one of the maps which he was just drawing.

So Leszczynski drew the contour of the beautiful girl on the map of Lodz.

Her head was the Main Market (todays Wolnosci Square, where there are all symbols of wisdom – the museum, church and the old Town Hall). Her long, dark plaits symbolise todays Pomorska and Legionow streets. Her long and beautiful neck is nothing else like Piotrowska Street, which is the nice and colourful place. Narutowicz and Zielona Streets represent her hands where the sign of work is present.Her heart is on the left – in the former Palace of Heinzl (todays City Hall). In Rzgowska and Pabianicka Streets her legs can be admired.

It’s the history of the most popular Lodz street.

The Warsaw Siren

A long long time ago two sisters sirens swam from the Atlantic Ocean to the Baltic. They were beautiful women with fish tails and they lived deep in the sea. 

One of them liked the rocks near Copenhagen and until today we can see her sitting on the rock at  the harbour. 

The second siren swam to the the huge harbour Gdañsk and then she swam to the source of the Vistula river.

When she was in Warsaw, she liked the city and she carne out from the water. She decided to stay there.

Soon the fishermen noticed that during the catching somebody interrupted them. Soon they were charmed with the siren singing but they didn't hurt her. Once, a rich trader saw the siren. He decided to show her on street markets so as to earn money. The trader captured the siren and put her into a shed. Fortunately a young servant heard  the siren's crying and saved her.

The siren was grateful and she promised to help the citizens if they ever would need  any help. Because of it the Warsaw Siren is armed now— she has got a sword and a shield.
