There is a popular joke in Bulgaria: In a winter when water dripped into ice, all the cats in Gabrovo had their tails cut off. It turns out that the Gabrovo people discovered that short-tailed cats can enter and leave the house faster than cats with long tails.

The Gabrovo man wiped the sweat from his head and replied seriously: "I just saw a doctor not long ago. He said that I am terminally ill and may die at any time. In order not to waste money, I only Buy a ticket for the next stop.”

There are even more vitriolic ridicules for the Gabrovo people. For example, when fans were popular, the women of Gabrovo did not use them to fan themselves, but shook their heads toward the fans in order not to wear them out; when feeding horses, they first put light green clothes on their horses. glasses, and then pour the sawdust into the manger, so that the horse will treat the sawdust as fodder and eat it.
