Том got on a big plane to America. When he landed, he saw the tall Statue of Liberty! It was holding a torch and looked very strong. Tom took many photos.
Near the statue, Tom saw red, white, and blue flags everywhere. His friend said: «This is Stars and Stripes! 50 stars for 50 states.» Tom counted the stripes — there were 13!
Tom went to Washington, D.C. by train. He saw the big White House where the president lives. The buildings looked very important.
In the city, he went to a café. In the café, Tom heard people speaking English, Spanish and German! His ice cream was called «cookie dough» — different words than in England!
At the end of his holiday, Tom bought a small flag as a souvenir. On the plane home, he thought: «America is big and interesting! I want to visit again.»
