Surrounded
by a staring tribe and me tied to a stake.

HOW A STATUE IS MADE
Statues of great personalities are made to keep their memory alive and to pay them homage. A statue can be made easily following a few steps. At first plaster of Paris of a certain quantity is mixed with warm water. Then the cast of the statue is made with wood. After that the cast is set on a smooth place. Next the mixture of plaster of paris is poured in the cast. Now it is left for some time to harden. After hardening the wooden cast is carefully removed. Then the statue is taken out. After that it is polished and painted. Finally the statue is ready to be set in suitable place.
