Manikin Pis
I just returned from Brussels and had the opportunity to visit the Manikin Pis. Our guide, who is very knowledgable, confirmed the story about the young child extinguishing a fire that could have potentially grown in size, endangering the city. Regards, Tom

Is There A Legend?
Hi. I'm writing a book about European myths and legends and I'm having a bit of a problem with the Belgian Manikin Pis. According to one story, he once put out a fire, saving much of Brussell, but others claim that he's just a small statue. Could you clear this out for me? Thanks. Steini, Reykjavik, Iceland
