一般来说, 许多游客在第一次看到这个撒尿小童时, 都很奇 怪这么一个小巧玲珑的铜雕像居然能够举世闻名. 或许此雕像也是一个能够很好地体现比利时超现实主义 幻想和幽默的众多例子中的一例吧! 在特殊的场合,撒尿小童会穿上特定的服装, 它一共拥 有800多套不同样式的精美彩服。 例如,他就曾经穿过 由中国成都市提供的熊猫装。

Manneken Pis regularly wears one of his 800 colourful costumes, most of which have been offered by representatives of countries around the world.
