[11:49.04]One of them said to Mrs.Brown,
[11:53.25]"The poor old gentleman lost his way in the park and called us for help,

[12:04.24]Mrs.Brown was very surprised,
[12:08.24]but she thanked the policemen and they left.
[12:13.23]"But,Grandfather,"she then said,
[12:18.61]"you've been to that park nearly every day for twenty years.
[12:24.02]How did you lose your way there?
[12:27.62]"The old man smiled,closed one eye and said,
[12:33.21]"I didn't quite lose my way.

[12:56.78]Last week Bill had to go to New York.
[13:01.37]It was his first time there,
[13:05.06]and he didn't know his way around the city.
[13:09.73]He had a meeting at ten o'clock,and he wanted to be on time.
[13:16.24]The meeting was in the Peterson Building on 34th street,
[13:22.35]but Bill didn't know where that was.
[13:26.64]Seeing two men standing on a corner,he asked them for directions.
[13:34.24]"Pardon me," he said,
[13:37.74]"but can you tell me how to get to the Peterson Building on 34th Street?"
[13:44.84]"Sure,"answered one of the men."you can get there in five minutes.
[13:51.74]Go to the next corner and turn left.
[13:56.44]Walk three blocks and there you are."
[14:01.25]But the other man said:
[14:04.64]"there's a better way.Get on the bus here at this corner.
[14:10.94]It stops right near the Peter's Building."
[14:15.85]"Not Peters,"Bill told him."Peterson."

[14:33.12]It's really far from here.You'll have to take the subway."
[14:39.73]But the second man told Bill:
[14:44.11]"No,don't go by the subway.
[14:48.92]Take the cross-town bus.It goes to the Peterkin Building."
[14:55.43]"Peterson.Not Peterkin."
[14:59.81]Bill looked at his watch.
[15:03.03]It was almost ten o'clock."Thanks a lot,"he said.
[15:08.72]"I think I'll take a taxi.
[15:12.33]As he got into the taxi he saw the two men arguing
[15:18.41]and pointing in different directions.
[15:22.70]Next time he wanted to know how to get to somewhere,he' asked a policeman!
