Statue Of Liberty

Earlier in the school year, I learned about the Statue of Liberty. It was a present to the United States of America from France in 1876. She holds a torch and a book. It is in the New York harbor. It is the tallest metal statue. It was a symbol of America in World War I and World War II. An elevator runs to the pedestal and steps go to the crown. Kids saved pennies to buy the base. If you go there you will see how tall it is. When you sail in a boat, you can see it from far away.

I think we should give France a statue of a French artist with a stick mustache and wearing a huge beret (bura), holding a paintbrush and a big loaf of French bread. And they can call it the "Statue of Thanks from America".

In our town, there are these people who dress up like the Statue of Liberty and jump up and down on the side of the road. They are trying to make us go to their tax place.
