STUDENT entered the tram, and then a pensioner approached him and HIS LIFE changed!

You know those stories that never happened, but somehow, everybody has a friend that something has happened to him? Precisely that, we think about - urban legends!

This is precisely how those mysterious, comical, freighting stories you have heard for thousand times are defined, and some of you, in the mean time, started retelling them convincing others that you have lived them

No one, however, for years to come, can't confirm who told first those urban legends, to whom they happened, why do they have to carry that "twist" that surprises careful listeners with eyes wide open at the end, and even make them laugh and a bit scared!

Urban legends are spreading around from one mouth to another, and the facts are changed from here and there.

And so they last...

Telegraf staff decided to remind you in the serial of texts committed to urban legends on some Serbian archetypical stories, which would be ashamed not to be talked further...

Tradition must be respected, right?

We open the series about a student topic, about a chance meeting of student and professor on the trip to college.

This is a famous urban legend about even more famous and loved Serbian professor of mathematics on the Electrical Engineering university - Academician Radivoj Kasanin.

It all started one morning, in the fifties, when professor Radivoj Kasanin (1892 - 1989) leaving to work on a tram (two), talked to the fellow traveler.

- Boy where are you heading? - asked Kasanin a polite young man who gave his seat to him.

- I am going on exam - answered the young man from some place in the middle of the state, who just that morning, went to take an exam to Electrical Engineering university.

- What professor is holding your exam? - asked Kasanin not revealing his identity.

- With some nasty Radivoj Kasanin, who teaches mathematics. I have never saw him - said the student without having a clue who is he talking to.

Word by word, they start talking about mathematics, and the student, somewhat nervous because of the exam, found himself in miracle because some "old pensioner" is boring him in the transport.

Since they had a long talk about every possible area of mathematics it was the time for them to part.

- I am going out at Vuk monument - said the young man happy to get rid of the old man, who knows far more on the subject than anyone could imagine.

- Me too! - said Radivoj, when upon the exit from the "two" add:

- And now young man, give me your student logbook so I can write you an eight. I am the "nasty Kasanin". You know mathematics and I am very glad we have met!

This were the last words of the professor who moved away in slow pace, leaving behind him a stupefied student with the ink slowly drying in his logbook on the morning breeze.

What do you say, weren't we right when we said these legends should be passed on?
