The statue was kept over a pillar at the centre of the town so that everybody could remember him.

Once upon a time a swallow came to visit the place and stopped between the feet of the statue. During night when the swallow was going to sleep, a drop fell on his head. He looked up and saw that tears coming out from the eyes of the statue. He became very sad.

"Why are you crying my dear?" Asked the prince. "I have seen everything happy in my life, but here I am seeing that somebody is unhappy and sad?" Replied the prince.

The swallow was surprised and asked about what he could see. The prince told him that he has seen that there is house at far off place where a poor woman lives. She is very sad because she has no money to buy food and medicines for his son who is very sick and unhealthy.
