HI
Pllease correct my English.. I'm French...
Hugo was born and raised in Paris. When Hugo was ten,his family had to move to live abroad because of his father's job. That's why Hugo ended in a the classroom number thirteen where no one spoke French.
He missed France a lot. As he couldn't go back there, he decided to bring France to him. So, with his money, he bought the Eiffel tower and put it in his garden. That's life.
I know my English is far from being perfect. But that's the real meaning of the text.
Hope I helped :)
