Episode 108: Sight-seeing

Helen:

The guidebook says ‘The Eiffel Tower weighs 7,300 tons and is 324 metres tall’.

Alice:

Really?

Helen:

Yes, but who cares about the facts and figures, let’s go up!

Alice:

Up there? Oh it’s so much nicer seeing it from the ground. Tell me more about this fascinating piece of architecture.

Helen:

Mmh, let’s see, ‘The tower can sway up to 7 centimetres in the wind.’

Alice:

Oh no! I’m definitely not going up now.

Helen:

You can’t come to Paris and not go up the Eiffel Tower.

Alice:

Just watch me!

Helen:

You’re not scared, are you Alice?

Alice:

The technical term is acrophobia, if you must know.

Helen:

Oh come on, take my hand. We’ll go up slowly, I promise.

Alice:

No!
