Szczebrzeszyn - odwiedzamy pomnik chrząszcza na Rynku
Po drodze z Zamościa do Zwierzyńca przejechaliśmy przez miejscowość Szczebrzeszyn, która znana jest z wiersza Jana Brzechwy o Chrząszczu. Na rynku, przed ratuszem, znaleźliśmy pomnik chrząszcza. Przypominał świerszcza. Filmik krótki, bo byliśmy tam tylko przejazdem.

About the poem:
Chrząszcz (beetle, chafer) by Jan Brzechwa is a poem famous for being one of the hardest-to-pronounce texts in Polish literature, and may cause problems even for adult, native Polish speakers.
The first line W Szczebrzeszynie chrząszcz brzmi w trzcinie (In Szczebrzeszyn a beetle buzzes in the reed) is a well-known Polish tongue-twister. Thanks to the poem, the town of Szczebrzeszyn is widely known in Poland. A monument to the beetle was erected there in 2002, and a yearly sculpture festival has been held there ever since.
Chrząszcz was translated into English by Walter Whipple as Cricket (whose Polish equivalent is also difficult to pronounce for non-Polish speakers: świerszcz).
Polish version:
W Szczebrzeszynie chrząszcz brzmi w trzcinie, I Szczebrzeszyn z tego słynie. Wół go pyta: „Panie chrząszczu, Po cóż pan tak brzęczy w gąszczu?
English translation:
In the town of Szczebrzeszyn a beetle buzzes in the reeds, And Szczebrzeszyn is famous for it. An ox asks him: Mister beetle, What are you buzzing for in the bushes?
