Big-Ben  The big clock on the tower of the Palace of Westminster in London is often called Big Ben. But Big Ben is really the bell of the clock. It is the biggest clock bell in Britain. It weighs 13.5 tons. The clock bell is called Big Ben after Sir Benjamin Hall. He had the job to see that the bell was put up.Sir Benjamin was a big man. One day he said in Parliament, "Shall we call the bell St. Stephen's?“ St. Stephen's is the name of the tower. But someone said for a joke, "Why not call it Big Ben?“ Now the bell is known all over the world by that name. THE END!!!
