Man: You look lost. Can I help you?
Visitor: Yes! Please! Which bus goes to the museum?
Man: Hmm. It’s 12:15. You just missed it. You can take the subway around the corner. Get off at 5th Avenue.
Visitor: 5th Avenue. OK. Then what?
Man: Go north on 5th for two blocks. You’ll see a railroad crossing. Cross the tracks, turn left, and the museum is straight ahead.
Visitor: OK. Let me make sure I understand: up 5th, over the railroad crossing, turn left. Thanks a lot!
Man: You’re welcome. Enjoy the museum!
