Today, we are going to talk about the Eiffel Tower.
We all know that the Eiffel Tower is in Paris, France.
But! Did you know that people from Paris originally hated the Eiffel Tower?
Many felt that the tower didn’t suit the city!
One author said he always ate lunch at the tower’s restaurant because it was the only place in the city, he couldn’t see it.
People hated the tower so much, that a man sold the metal to the Eiffel Tower twice!!
The first time, the businessmen were too embarrassed to tell the police they were tricked!
So, the liar tried it again.
The second time he was almost caught but, he ran away to America!
He was later arrested in America.
Even though people in Paris originally didn’t like the tower, the rest of the world seems to like it.
There are 50 similar towers around the world.
Some are basically the same, and others are just similar.
