Monumental

The tourist guide was in his element.

“Princess Grace was trying to elope with her lover. They were mysteriously trapped in a pyramid of snow by the King. When the Queen begged for her daughter’s life, he laid down a condition. If they survived the winter with the warmth of their love, the snow would melt and they would come back to life. Of course they did not.”

“And who builds this snow pyramid every year?”

“Ha! There is no magic here. A concrete structure has been built as a monument to the lovers, and snow covers it in winter.”
