Gargoyle
From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Gargoyle is a grotesque statue. It is used to get water away from a building, when it rains. Very often, figures have been made. These figures spew out the collected water. Most gargoyles were made a long time ago.
There are not very many gargoyles made today. Now, most houses can use gutters to move water. There are not a lot of gargoyles in America, as most of the are in Europe.
