Bill from Australia is in New York now. He
will have a meeting with some people from England in the Peterson Building on
34th Street. But he doesn't know where it is. Now he is asking two men the way
to the Peterson Building.
"Excuse me, can you tell me where the
Peterson Building on 34th Street is?"
"Sure," answers one of the men. "You
can get there in five minutes. Go along this road and turn left at the third crossing,
and then you can find it. "
But the other man says, "There is a
better way; take a No. 3 bus. It can take you to the Peters Building."
"Not Peters, but Peterson." says Bill.
Then the two men say, "Oh, we're sorry
we don't know."
"Thank you all the same. I think I'll
take a taxi," Bill says. He knows that if he wants to know how to get to a
place next time, he'd better ask a policeman.
