Emma asks for directions

It was Emma’s second day in Vancouver. She planned to visit a small art museum before lunch, but after leaving the SkyTrain station, she realized she didn’t know which way to go.

She noticed a woman waiting at a bus stop and walked over. “Excuse me,” Emma said, “could you tell me how to get to the Maple Art Museum?”

Emma thanked her and started walking, repeating the directions in her mind. At each corner, she checked the street signs carefully so she would not get lost again.

The streets were wide, and the buildings all looked the same. Emma felt unsure and looked around for someone who might help her find the Maple Art Museum.

The woman smiled kindly and gave clear directions. “Go straight to the second traffic light, turn right at the corner, and it’s just across from the post office.”

When Emma saw the Maple Art Museum sign, she smiled with relief. Getting lost had become a small adventure, and she felt proud of herself.
