Big City
Archie comes to the nursery to say he is taking his nephew Christopher to the Science Centre in the Big City. Miss Hoolie thinks that Spencer's niece Lucy might like to join them. So Archie goes over to find out. Spencer tells him that the Big City is busy with traffic, and tests Archie on the rules for crossing the road safely. Archie gets a bit muddled up and Spencer says to practise the Green Cross Code before taking the children to the Science Centre. Archie calls on PC Plum, who is a big help. He shows Archie how to cross the road safely and even agrees to go with him on the trip to make sure the children get to the Science Centre safely. And Spencer was right, the Big City is very busy, full of people and cars, but Archie crossed safely with PC Plum and the children. They had a wonderful afternoon at the Science Centre.

Famous quotes containing the words big and/or city:
“Charles Foster Kane: Look, Mr. Carter. Here is a three-column headline in the Chronicle. Why hasn’t the Inquirer a three-column headline?

Charles Foster Kane: Mr. Carter, if the headline is big enough, it makes the news big enough.”
—Orson Welles (1915–1985)
“I have developed a visionary modern lyric, and, for it, an idiom in which I can write lyrically, colloquially, and dramatically. My subject is city life—with its sofas, hotel corridors, cinemas, underworlds, cardboard suitcases, self-willed buses, banknotes, soapy bathrooms, newspaper-filled parks; and its anguish, its enraged excitement, its great lonely joys.”
—Rosemary Tonks (b. 1932)
