1-The Architect
An American architect was visiting London. He
was on a business trip but he also wanted to see
all the famous buildings in London. The American
did not have much time so he stopped a taxi and
asked the driver to take him to all the old and
famous buildings in London, The taxi driver drove
him to the Tower of London." This is the Tower of
London. It was a prison in the old days," he said.
The American looked at the building and said," It
is so small. In America we could build this in a
day." The taxi driver took the American to
Westminster Abbey. He said," This is a famous
church. Kings and queens get married here." The
American looked at the old building and
said,"Huh. In America we could build this church
in two days," The driver decided to take the
American to a bigger church so he drove him to St
Paul's Cathedral. He stopped outside the church
and said," This is the most famous church in
England. The great architect Christopher Wren
built this church." The American got out of the taxi
and looked at the church," Huh, In America we
could build this church in three days." he said.
Next the driver took the American to the Houses
of Parliament." This is where British politicians
meet. "Huh." the American said. "We could build
this in four days." The driver drove past
Buckingham Palace, the home of Queen Elizabeth.
As the taxi passed the palace, the American said,
"Hey. What is this big and beautiful building" The
taxi driver looked at the palace and said,
"........"
