"Now I'm afraid to drive there with money." Unusual trade near Minsk
On the exit from Minsk towards Brest, drivers are met by bears, hares, owls, and roe deer. Not real ones, of course, but wooden ones. A whole trailer of figures made of oak and aspen was noticed by a reader of "Smartpress" publication.
According to Alena, she used to drive past every time, speeding up before the highway. But the day before, she finally decided to stop by the "bunnies in a tram".
"And immediately I wanted to buy them all," she admitted.
Serious owls, plump bear cubs, and long-eared hares were arranged in the trailer. The prices were particularly surprising: a small owl cost 20 rubles, a bear cub — 50, and the largest bear — 90 rubles.
"For such works of art, the prices are simply indecently low," the resident of Minsk believes.
For about ten minutes, the buyer examined the wooden animals and tried to choose just one. In the end, she couldn't: a bear cub and an owl went home with Alena.
"I spent the last money from my card. Now I'm afraid to drive near this place with money: what if I take a whole trailer," the woman joked.
