The Zoo

        In the USA, there is a huge and fabulous zoo. It's located at San Diego City and also known as San Diego Zoo. Live there 2 lions. One of them is an old lion, and the other one is still young.The young lion was so boastful so that he challenge the old lion to be a 'real' lion.
        "Lion ought not to behave like that" the young lion said to himself, so he roared at all of the visitors and tried to break the bars of the den.
        At three o'clock a man brought a big piece of meat and put it in the old lion's den. Then put a bag of nuts and two bananas in the young lion's den.
         The young lion was very surprised. "I don't understand this." he said to the old lion. "I behave like a real lion, while you lie there and do nothing and look what happens!"
         The old lion answered relax, "This is the 21st century dude! People are no longer yelling like a cave man. Me either."

The Symbol of Freedom

             On July 4, 1884 France presented the United States with an incredible birthday gift: the Statue of Liberty! Without its pedestal it’s as tall as a 15-story building. She represents the United States. But the world-famous Statue of Liberty standing in New York Harbor was built in France. The statue was presented to the U.S., taken apart, shipped across the Atlantic Ocean in crates, and rebuilt in the U.S. It was France’s gift to the American people.

             It all started at dinner one night near Paris in 1865. A group of Frenchmen were discussing their dictator-like emperor and the democratic government of the U.S. They decided to build a monument to American freedom—and perhaps even strengthen French demands for democracy in their own country. At that dinner was the sculptor Frédéric-Auguste Bartholdi (bar-TOLE-dee). He imagined a statue of a woman holding a torch burning with the light of freedom.
             Turning Bartholdi’s idea into reality took 21 years. French supporters raised money to build the statue, and Americans paid for the pedestal it would stand on. Finally, in 1886, the statue was dedicated.
