I am always at a loss when people visiting the city asks me about the statues: who's that? Most of the time I don't know, some poet/warrior/politician/and so on. But I am very competent when it comes to the lions on the Chain Bridge. They're the ones without tongues- the legend says the architect who made the bridge claimed that if someone could point out a fault with it, he'll jump into the river. So a kid noticed that the felines have no tongues, which they don't, I've inspected myself personally. And that is what makes the bridge really exciting, after all.
