“…In the days when I used to climb trees, it was a long time ago, many years and decades ago, when I was barely over a meter tall and wore size twenty-eight shoes, I was so light that I could fly (…) …in that vicinity, closer less than two kilometers from our house, there lived such a man named "Mr. Zomer". No one knew what Mr. Zomer's name was, Peter, Paul, Heinrich, or Franz, or maybe he should have been called Dr. Zomer or Professor Zomer. Nobody knew whether Mr. Zomer was engaged in anything or whether he had any profession..." (P. Ziuskindas)
