According to one version, the work of Liss Eriksson bears the imprint of the author's childhood. On sleepless nights, when Liss Eriksson couldn't sleep, he sat tucked up in his bed and also looked out the window at the moon. Tourists, on the other hand, have many signs associated with the monument (choose the one that you like best; ) - if you put a coin and ask the baby about the second half, then it will definitely appear; - if you throw a coin at the boy's feet, stroke him on the head and at the same time make a wish, then the wish will come true; - if you leave a coin to the boy, then there will definitely be an addition to the family - if you pat the boy on the head, you will come to Stockholm again.

They say that if you rub the head of the "moon boy" - you will definitely return to Stockholm again - it's like throwing a coin into the water. I always stroke the "boy" on the head, and my sign works: ). This small monument is located in the quiet courtyard of the Finnish church, which is located opposite the royal palace. The sculpture is considered the smallest monument in Sweden. In general, in itself it is nothing remarkable.
