But they are never deserted in the big city.
Soon it’s morning in the big city. By eight o’clock the streets are filled again with people. Millions of people live in the big city. And millions of people who work in the big city live in the suburbs. The commuters, are hurrying out of railroad stations, subways, buses and apartment houses. Hurry, hurry, hurry.
