10. Legend
My Grandfather told us of a legend in Kathmandu.
It was a story about a statue called the
green eyed little yellow god at the foot
of Kathmandu.
The eyes were precious gems and they were
believed to be cursed if removed from the
statue.
The local people knew this so never ever
touched the statue.
However a man came from a far off land and
saw the statue.
He was in awe at the gems and thought that
he must have them.
He waited until dark and he took one eye.
In the morning they found him.
He had died about one hundred meters from
the statue and the eye was missing.
They never did find the eye but believe that
it is held somewhere and whoever has it has
the curse so will have a terrible life.
