Some people have a very poor sense of
direction. Unluckily, I am one of them. I have visited a place many times but I
may still get lost there the next time.
When I was a little girl, I never dared to
ask strangers the way. And so I used to walk around in circles and hope that by
chance I would get to the place I was going to.
Now, I am no longer too shy to ask people
for directions, but I often receive useless or ever wrong information. So I try
to avoid giving people wrong directions. It anyone asks me the way somewhere, I
would say, "Sorry, I am a stranger here."
Once on my way to work I was stopped by a
man. He asked me if I could tell him the way to the Friendship Building. I gave
him my usual reply. But just as I walked on only a few steps, I realized that
he had asked the way to my office building. However, I had no time to turn back
and look for him. I hurried to meet someone at my office and I didn't want to
keep him waiting.
When I just got to my office, the secretary
showed in the man who had asked me for directions. Imagine how awkward I was and how surprised
he was when we saw each other at the first sight!
