Cover of Directions for a Visitor

Bruno works at a shop in the city center. He knows the streets very well. Every day, people ask him for directions. Today, a woman stops him on the street.

She holds a map and looks unsure. "Excuse me," she says. "Can you help me?"

"Of course," Bruno says. "Where do you want to go?"

"I need the museum," Keiko says. "I can't find it."

"No problem," Bruno says. "It's two streets from here."

"Really? I walked around for twenty minutes," Keiko says. "I feel very lost."

"Follow me," Bruno says. "I know a fast way."

They walk together down the street. Bruno points to a big clock tower.

"The museum is next to that tower," he says.

Keiko looks at the tower. "Now I see it," she says.

They cross the street at the light. Bruno stops in front of the museum doors.

"Here is the museum," Bruno says. "It opens in ten minutes."

"Thank you so much," Keiko says. "You are very helpful."

"You're welcome," Bruno says. "I like to help people."
