“In the very center of the very greatest city, in the very greatest country there is—there is—Times Square! The Heart of the World!”

“Harry, you are frightening me.”

“There are subways—trains that run underground—there are candy stores, and hamburger joints—and most of all, there are hurrying, rushing human beings.”

“I’m not so keen on them,” said Tucker.

“Don’t worry—they won’t even notice you.”

“Well, a little bit of notice,” said Tucker, “would not be too offensive.”

“And there are—I know this, because when I prowled Times Square, I saw pipes and I saw niches, and I saw places to hide.”

“But the people, Harry—the human beings—you don’t think they’d hound us out?”

Harry shook his head. “They’re too much concerned with themselves. If we just keep out of the way of all the life that goes on there.”

“Keeping out of the way of life,” said Tucker. “Is that a way of life?”

Harry started to laugh. But quickly he stopped. For he saw that some moisture was dribbling down Tucker’s furry cheeks.

“We have no place to live,” moaned Tucker in a choked voice. “And nobody wants us.”

“Now, just a minute!” Harry laid a paw on his small friend’s back. “In the first place, we want each other—so that takes care of that. And in the second, you will like Times Square.”
