Polly vuela bajo sobre el puerto. Ve agua gris y barcos. Luego ve un brazo grande adelante. La Estatua de la Libertad está en su propia isla, con una corona y una antorcha en alto.
De cerca, la piel de cobre es fina, no más gruesa que dos monedas. Está sobre una estructura de hierro. Ahora es verde, aunque antes era brillante.
Francia construyó la estatua y la mandó aquí en piezas. Los trabajadores la armaron en mil ochocientos ochenta y seis. Mide trescientos cinco pies de alto.
Cerca de la estatua hay una isla más pequeña. Mucha gente llegaba allí en barco para empezar una vida nueva. Polly vuela alrededor una vez, y luego hacia los edificios altos de adelante.
That's the story.
