From Pelican Here, Pelican There: |
|
|
|
"Then there were tall buildings stretching up to the sky. Factories and big
chimneys were making smoke. Bridges reached across the river. The subway roared, the
wheels clicked, and the elevated trains rumbled." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Traffic lights turned red and green. Cars honked and
policemen blew their whistles. There were ocean liners, and tug boats, and barges
and sloops and garbage scows all puffing up and down the river." |
