the fairy tale

The origin of the Gursha lies in a myth from Ancient Greece: a cruel king who was so proud of his ability to mistreat his people that he wrote to the great king Herod, offering to exchange means of mistreating his citizens. This king then began to hone a new method: putting hungry peasants in an arena around a magnificent food distribution, separated from them by a great ditch, and giving them only long silver spoons to eat with. How could they carry the food in their mouths? Again and again they tried and failed.

Then one of the peasants had an idea: "Me to you and you to me," he said. They began to feed each other through the long spoons. The king, furious at his failure, left the arena.

Then something happened. The people who had witnessed the show went home and tried it themselves, feeding each other at dinner that night. This time with the help of their hands, being devoid of those long silver spoons.

For the Ethiopians, this legend and the practice it induces has a political connotation.It is a symbolic message against greed, probably evoking a feeling towards people who are greedy of their wealth.
