"Won't you try one?" he asked.
"I guess not," said Ben.
"Come along, then. You ask any questions about what you see, and I'll answer."
"What's that field? It's a common, isn't it?" asked Ben pointing to a park after they walked down Broadway for a few blocks.
"Oh, that's Madison Park; but we've got a good deal bigger park than that up-town. Central Park—that's the name of it."
"Is it far off?"
"About two miles. Do you want to go there?"
"No, I'd rather see the streets, and the nice buildings. I can see plenty of fields at home."
"Are you going to stay long in the city?" asked, Tom, for this Ben learned was the name of his companion.
"Only a day or two. I want to see as much as I can while I am here."
