What can one give to another as a gift? Books, shirts, saris, tour tickets, mobiles, cameras, cars, and finally the house - what could be more expensive? Football star Cristiano Ronaldo gave an entire island as a gift at a friend's wedding! This is what happened last year. But 132 years ago today, in 18, France presented America with a whole high sculpture. As if not sculpture, but expensive, high and historical. Its height is 305 feet 1 inch. The sculpture now stands as a symbol of equality, freedom and liberation at the mouth of the Hudson River on Bedlow Island, near the New York harbor in the United States, where all New York ships anchor. The island is now called Liberty. Which we know as the ‘Statue of Liberty’.
