The Boy with the Leaking Boot is a statue showing a young boy, with a bare right foot, holding up his right boot and looking at it. The statue is about 4 feet (1.2 m) tall, and in many cases forms a fountain, with water emerging from the toe of the boot. There are at least 24, and reportedly "hundreds" of examples. The origins of the statue are obscure. The boy is reported to be a young Italian newspaper seller who drowned, or an American army drummer-boy who carried water in his leaking boot to help fallen comrades, or a young fire-fighter either using his boot in a bucket chain or emptying his boot after an incident, or possibly none of these. The statue has also been called The Boy with the Leaky Boot, Boy Immigrant and Unfortunate Boot.

  • تمثال الفتى ذو الحذاء المرشح (بالإنجليزية: The Boy witl the Leaking Boot)‏ (ويطلق عليه أحيانا Leaky)، يسمى التمثال أيضاً بالفتى المهاجر والحذاء سيء الحظ. هو أحد التماثيل التي تصور فتى صغيراً ممسكاً بحذاءه الأيمن وناظراً إليه. يبلغ طول التمثال 4 أقدام، وفي أغلب الأحيان يكون على شكل نافورة تتدفق مياهها من ثقب الحذاء. أصل هذا التمثال غامض، فيقال أنه كان هناك فتى يبيع الجرائد وغرق، أو أنه كان بائعاً متجولاً في الجيش الأمريكي حدث وأن حمل المياه في حذاءه ليساعد رفاقه الجرحى، وقيل غير ذلك. ‌ (ar)
