There used to be a natural stone bridge across a river in western Iceland. A folk story about it says that two children fell off and into the river and died. Their mother decided to destroy the bridge and put a curse on the area, so nobody would ever be able to cross there again and survive. (Some people say the bridge collapsed in an earthquake, but that’s just boring). Since then, many have tried, but nobody has made it across the river at that place and lived. I’ve seen it, and I think anyone who tries to cross there must be suicidal, but that’s another story. The place is called “Children’s Falls”, after the children who died there.

Thank goodness! No one should have to be under a bridge when (pantless) Ziggy crosses it.

Maybe someone was inspired to get off the bridge just before it collapsed… I hope

Who let the elephant cross it?

sort of like “The Great Stone Face” or “The Old Man of the Mountain”. Nathanial Hawthorne wrote about it but it collapsed in 2003.
