I used to dream about Pisa when I was a boy. I read about the famous building  1   the Lean Tower of Pisa. But when I read the word Pisa, I was thinking of  2  . I thought this tower was a place to buy pizza. It must be the  3   in the world. I thought.

Many years later I finally saw the Leaning Tower. I knew then that it was Pisa but not pizza. However, there was still something special about it for me. The tower got its name because it really does lean to one side. Some people want to try to  4   it. They are  5   it may fall over and they do not like the way it looks.

I do not think it's a  6   idea to try to fix it. The tower probably will not fall down. It is 600 years old. Why should anything happen now! And, if you ask me, I like the way it  7   over the city. To me it is a very human kind of leaning.

"  8   is perfect," it seems to say.             

And who cares? Why do people want things to be perfect? Imperfect things may be more interesting. Let's take the tower in Pisa.   9   is it so famous? There are many other older, more beautiful towers in Italy,  10  the Leaning Tower is the most famous. People come from all over the world to see it.
