You remember I told you that Chicago is right on the edge of Lake Michigan. And Lake Michigan, so far as looks are concerned, might just as well be the ocean you saw down in Floridaâitâs so big you canât see the other side.â âAnd does it have big waves?â asked Mary Jane. âJust you wait and see,â promised Mr. Merrill. âBig waves! I should say it has!â âAnd all the green part of the map is parks,â said Alice, quoting what her father had told them when he first showed them the map. âThen there must be a lot of parks,â suggested Mary Jane with interest. âI think Iâd like to live by a park,â she added thoughtfully. âI think I should too,â agreed Mr. Merrill, âand itâs near a park we will make the first hunt for a home.â
