BRUSSELS HAS MANY FINE BOULEVARDS
Philippe showed them the "Mound of the Lion," that great pyramid-shaped monument on the battlefield.
"It was built after the Battle of Waterloo, in memory of the Prince of Orange," he explained. "It is as large as a city block. The huge lion on the top is made of metal from captured French cannons. You know that the lion is the emblem of Belgium. The mound was built almost entirely by women who carried the dirt in pails."
Driving back to the city, the Englishman remarked, "It seems to me that tea time is approaching."
The little boy knew how important tea time is to Englishmen. So he suggested an excellent café where they might sit outside and watch the people.
While they were eating, Philippe explained to the Englishman how he loved to read. He told of his interest in the stories of his land.
"Then you do not want to be a chef some day like your father?" asked the gentleman.
