"Manneken Pis, Brussels, Belgium"

Today I will introduce "Manneken Pis in Brussels, Belgium🇧🇪" The little boy is located at the intersection of Rue de l’Étuve and Rue du Chêne in Brussels. It takes about 3 minutes to walk from the center of the square to the boy (if there are not many people😅) Then the little boy... he is really small... Hey~ I'm not talking about that place😆 The manneken Pis himself is really small. You can see in the fourth photo that we have taken the photo very close to the fence, but he looks really far away in the photo. There are two stories about the Little Boy Peeing. The first one is that in 1142, Holdfried III led his army to fight against the enemy. When the army was about to be defeated, the Duke put his little son in the cradle and charged into battle with the army in a Jedi counterattack. The effect was very good, which inspired the morale of the army and finally defeated the enemy. Then, in order to commemorate the great hero of this battle (the Duke's son), everyone erected a bronze statue for him. The second story is about a boy named Julien from the countryside who got up in the middle of the night to urinate and saw a flame coming out of a nearby house. (Another version says that the French army was about to blow up the city with gunpowder.) The boy suddenly had an idea and put out the flame with his urine, thus resolving a fire crisis. Later, in order to thank the boy, people built this statue at the original spot to commemorate him. Here I share the thrilling scene we encountered in Brussels Square (the article is a bit long, please read it with discretion 😆) That day, my husband and I took photos at the famous "Manneken Pis". Witnessed a robber chase in the square! ! 🫣🫣🫣 A young golden-haired guy saw a female tourist choosing something in a clothing store, and then the female tourist put the big bag in her hand at her feet. At this time, the golden-haired guy did a lunge🕺, oh no! He rushed forward, took it and left. Fortunately, the girl was alert and noticed it immediately! Because she couldn't catch up with her because she was wearing a very short skirt, she screamed and made some coquettish gestures to the fat uncle who owned the chocolate shop opposite (OK, it was because I didn't understand her, she might be asking for help), and then the fat uncle rushed out. At that time, he was like a Western Sammo Hung! Although they are fat, they run quite fast. Maybe there are often thieves and robberies here, so they usually practice running. Here comes the point, while they were chasing, the fat boss was shouting! But the people around seemed to have seen an ambulance and they all moved to the sides, clearing a path for the blond boy to pass through the originally crowded crowd unimpeded. (Don’t ask me why I didn’t help stop him, I could see it clearly because we were standing across the street) This made me really don’t understand why everyone could have caught him immediately by just blocking him or tripping him. Anyway, I just watched it all quietly with my husband, eating melons. Fortunately, a brave tourist helped to stop the guy at the corner, and the guy just dropped his things and ran away. I just wonder why those thieves with great skills don’t perform magic tricks in the square? Thief: Look, your money is here. Hey, your money is gone! Tourist: Wow~~~ so cool👏👏👏👏 Isn't it more comfortable to cheat like this? 🤔🤔🤔 #You really need to take good care of your bag! ! ! #In the scenic area, anything you take away belongs to someone else #The little boy often changes his clothes, which are donated by countries all over the world. This time he seems to be dressed in Hawaii ##Belgium ##Brussels ##Grand Place ##Good place for parents and children ##Peeing child
