The Little Knowledge Robbers : The Gist

The story is written in the context of colonization of Sicily by the Greeks and the Romans, a few centuries before the birth of Jesus of Nazareth. The fable primarily revolves around the interactions between the Greek and the Roman kings and the diminutive gnomes of Sicily.

"Gekoh pays reverence to the great Greek emperor", said the wee gnome Gekoh. The king was befuddled to watch a small creature talk to him. He observed the gnome top-down with prying eyes. Gnomes did not use to wander through the island nor they were seen over the streets. Instead, they normally preferred being confined within the periphery of the dense forest Caronia.

The Little Knowledge Robbers : Part I

Greek king Leonidas was speeding towards the main Greek empire fortification over his daunting black horse. But the horse could stride no further. In front, the hills laid stubborn as if blocking the way deliberately. A narrow chasm was still visible but not enough wide for the king to get through with the horse. The king had no choice but to revert back. Just as he did so a little gnome popped out from the tall grasses.

The little gnomes of Sicily were offended. The Greeks had invaded into their sanctum and had disturbed its naturalistic topography. Trees were stabbed down, forests were burnt, dams were built, thick and tall walls were erected. All these had caused a great deal of concern amongst the gnomes of Sicily.
Gnomes were peaceful, rational and intelligible creatures. They were bearers and avid seekers of esoteric knowledge and recondite philosophy. People from the local tribes often visited them to solve the problems they themselves were unable to. The island was in great harmony until encroachment by the Greek kings.
