The author paraphrases humorous stories by Fran Milčinski about the inhabitants of Butale, a fictitious small town famous its foolish behaviour, and tries to find similarities with eight real small towns in Slovenia in the pre-Enlightenment period. The activities of the inhabitants of Butale, as described by Fran Milčinski, are similar to those of these eight economically declining, predominantly rural settlements whose inhabitants, despite their obvious unimportance, tried hard to establish their distain for their rural surroundings.
