The symbol of Canada is the sugar maple, which grows in the Great lakes region and in Eastern America. The first written mention of maple leaf as a symbol dates back to 1760. In the late 1830s, the Baptist society of St. John in Quebec adopted a maple leaf as a symbol of his society. It was carried by the Canadians as a national symbol on the Prince of Wales, when he in 1860, first visited Canada. Officially maple leaf became a national symbol of Canada in 1965, since then it is depicted on the flag of the country.
London Bridge is two thousand years old. The first bridge was of wood.
Then people built the bridge of stone and called it London Bridge. There
were houses and shops on it and people paid money when they crossed the
bridge.
In 1831 a new bridge rose on the place of the first
bridge. But the city grew very quickly and in I960 the people of London
wanted to build a large new bridge at that place.
A very rich American bought the old London Bridge as people buy old
things. He wanted to show the old bridge in America to people for money.
The people of London liked their old London Bridge. But the city needed
money for the new bridge.
The American brought the parts of the bridge on a ship to Arizona in the
USA. Workers built the old bridge but there was no river under it now,
only a street. No ships pass under it now, only people walk along the
street and look at the old bridge. In 1973 the new London Bridge was
opened on the site of the old bridge over the Thames.
