| I often dreamed about Pisa when I was a boy. I read about the famous building called the Leaning Tower of Pisa.But when I read the word Pisa, I was thinking of pizza.

I knew then that is was Pisa and no pizza. But 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 fix it. They are afraid it may fall over and they don`t like it leans over the city. I do not think it`s a good idea to try to fix it.The tower probably will not fall down, it is 600 years old. why should anything happen to it now? And, if you ask me, I like what it looks like.
