Asking the way
Mike is traveling across the country in his car. One evening he is driving around looking for a small hotel. He sees an old man at the side of the road. He stops his car. "Excuse me, I want to go to the Sun Hotel," he says to the old man. "Do you know it?"
"Yes," the old man says. "I'll show you the way." The old man gets into Mike's car. They drive off. They drive for about 12 miles. When they come to a small house, the old man says, "Stop here." Mike stops and looks at the house.
"But this isn't a hotel, he says to the old man.
"No," the old man answers. "This is my house. And now I'll show you the way to the Sun Hotel." The old man points down the road behind him. "Turn around and go back 9 miles. You'll see the hotel on your left.”Asking the wayMike is traveling across the country in his car. One evening he is driving around looking for a small hotel.
