In 1834, the clock tower in London was burned down. People planned to buil d a new clock
which would be the biggest and the best in the world. So the clock had to be big and keep very
good time. Several years later the tower was finished. The people put the big clock in the tower,
and made it ring out for the first time on
July 11, 1859.
In order to give the big clock a good name, people held a meeting. Someone wanted to call
it the Queen of Bells , and someone thought Victoria was good . At last, a man named Benjamin
Hall stood up. He was a big man. Before he started to speak, someone shouted,
鈥?/p>
Why not call it
Big Ben?

Everybody laughed and agreed with him.
From then on, Big Ben became its name. And it also became a famous building of London.
People all over the world write to Big Ben. They even send bottles of oil to help keep Big Ben
running. Big Ben is not only a clock but also a dear friend of people.
