AN UNUSUAL MEETING TOOK PLACE IN BUDAPEST RECENTLY - THE SMALLEST AND THE TALLEST MEN IN HUNGARY MET IN A TAILOR'S SHOP. FOR MIHALY MESZAROS WHO IS ONLY 30 INCHES (75cm) TALL, BUYING A SUIT IS A SIMPLE AFFAIR - HE ONLY NEEDS 1 1/2 METRES OF CLOTH.

BUT JANOS WARNAI FINDS IT MORE EXPENSIVE. HE IS 7 FEET 10 INCHES TALL (238cm) AND NEEDS 13 FEET (4.5 METRES) OF CLOTH TO MAKE A SUIT.

MR. MESZAROS WORKS AS A LOCAL GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL IN THE HEVES, NORTHERN HUNGARY. A HEAVY TRANSPORT LORRY CAN PASS EASILY OVER HIM, AS IS DEMONSTRATED IN THE FILM.

MR. WARNAI, WHO WORKS AT THE DANUBE IRON WORKS, IS THE TALLEST MAN IN THE COUNTRY.
