| The Beans on the top of the Empire State |
Today, The Beans have lived an intensive day. The family is still in New York City enjoying the city and its sights and working to improve their English.
They have talked about the Adverbs of Frequency and the Prepositions of Place and Direction.

Firstly, the family has been involved in a terrible scandal when a local newspaper has accused them of being the main suspects of the fire in Trump's Tower. Without time to call the best lawyers, the family has demonstrated that if you work together you have more possibilities of success and they have been preparing their alibis. After being interrogated by the Metropolitan Police, all of them have returned to the hotel free of charges and without any doubt about their innocence. It's always better to have a good relationship with the Police.
Next, The Beans have decided to visit the Empire State, a 102-story Art Deco skyscraper in Midtown Manhattan, New York City. Designed by Shreve, Lamb & Harmon, the building has a roof height of 380 m and stands a total of 443.2 m tall, including its antenna.

| Eli Bond-Bean and King Kong |
The site of the Empire State Building, located on the west side of Fifth Avenue between West 33rd and 34th Streets, was originally part of an early 18th century farm. In the late 1820s, it came into the possession of the prominent Astor family, with John Jacob Astor's descendants building the Waldorf–Astoria Hotel on the site in the 1890s. By the 1920s, the family had sold the outdated hotel and the site indirectly ended up under the ownership of Empire State Inc., a business venture that included businessman John J. Raskob and former New York governor Al Smith.
The original design of the Empire State Building was a for a 50-story office building. However, after fifteen revisions, the final design was for a 86-story building, with an airship mast on top. This ensured it would be the world's tallest building, beating the Chrysler Building and 40 Wall Street, two other Manhattan skyscrapers under construction at the time that were also vying for that distinction.

| The Beans and their rescue plan |
When they were leaving the building, they have been astonished to see that Eli Bond-Bean was on the top of it kidnapped by King Kong. Quickly, they have thought a rescue plan to liberate Eli from King Kong's hands. The plan has been a total success.
Then, the family has decided to go to the zoo and talk with the bosses about a King Kong's adoption. They had got another point here. The zookeepers have never thought about this possibility but they have accepted The Beans' proposal.
The Prospect Park Zoo is a 4.9 ha zoo located off Flatbush Avenue on the eastern side of Prospect Park, Brooklyn, New York City. Its precursor, the Menagerie, opened in 1890. The present facility first opened as a city zoo on July 3, 1935, and was part of a larger revitalization program of city parks, playgrounds and zoos initiated in 1934 by Parks Commissioner Robert Moses. It was built, in large part, through Civil Works Administration and Works Project Administration (WPA) labour and funding.

| The Beans with Barbra in her apartment |
Finally, the family was exhausted. They have lived too many emotions in a day. The Grandma has received an incredible phone call.
Barbra Streisand was on the other side of the line and she has invited all the family to a private concert in her apartment to relax and charge batteries.
Hold the line, Barbra! I'm going to talk with my family about your invitation.
Barbra? Are you there? It's an enormous pleasure for us to come to your home and assist to your private concert. Taking profit of your trust, I would like to listen to "If you go way".
See you later, my friend.
All I know is just what I read in the papers,
and that's an alibi for my ignorance.
