"Thanks. Now, Where Do We Put This?"
The biggest gift ever is the Statue of Liberty. It was a present from France to the United States in 1886. It stands more than 150 feet tall and weighs 225 tons. What if your town could give a giant gift to another town in the United States or to another country? What would the gift be?
