After the flooding, the water began to recede. And the more the water lowered, people in the neighboring town noticed and word got round that something strange was in the middle of a once raging river.
People camped out. No one wanted to miss what it could be. But many knew and tried preventing the young from swimming out to get a closer look. Until that very same night a child swam out towards it.
An adult saw the child and shouted but was too late. When the river dried up, the bones of children surrounded the missing Boy Statue.
