Honziguera responds that he is also hungry and that he is waiting around for a simpleton who passes by every day carrying food for his wife who is in jail.
Honziguera uses this opportunity to start the story of the fantastical Land of Jauja, and how Mendrugo should try to preside over this wonderful place instead.
Some of these wonders include slapping men for working, trees with trunks of bacon, and talking food that begs to be eaten.
