Miro Petrović, čovjek kojem je Matokit pao na leđa
Miro Petrović, the man on whose back Matokit fell

Summary/Abstract: No one knows where Miro Petrović lives and what he actually does. Apparently, people say, it is in Fojnica in the summer. In the garden of Angela's birth house, she collects sweet potatoes in a jar, and then uses it to thresh the pods. Behind Gospojina, when it is already cold in Fojnica in the evening, he stays in Klobuk. The world told him to sit on a stone and count how much sky there is "in meters" between Herzegovina and Zagora. While he lived in Sarajevo, he allegedly only ate canned beans with the federal writer Ilija Ladin. When he lived in Tuzla, Miro Petrović did nothing else but look for salt in the ground on Gradovrh hill. In recent years, people say, he spends most of his evenings sitting under the Old Bridge and trying to measure how much water really flows between Carinski and Lukački. Once a man saw him climb the Fortica with a ladder and from there throw a huge fishing net on the Hum hill.
