One day, they had an argument and, in order to communicate with each other, they hired Miguel, whose job was to read and write for illiterate people. Many letters were passed from one to the other while Pepe paid Miguel by going to school, and José paid him with flowers from his own garden. Pepe kept going to school, and wrote a letter to the government asking for a pension for his grandfather. This play is inspired by the legend of Sant Jordi (or St. George), the patron saint of Catalonia (Spain). The story tells how Sant Jordi confronts the dragon who terrorizes a kingdom, kills it, and saves the princess and all the people. Although this play is based on that legend, it is written with a humorous twist that children will enjoy a lot. 2000 HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSEN AWARD FOR WRITING Núria Llunell os de Sant Jordi rolina Alarcón atro se ha inspirado en la t Jordi (o San Jorge), el patrono paña).
