Finding Our Way
Mary: Why are you stopping?
Is there something wrong with the car?
Tom: No, the car is fine, but we’re lost!
Mary: What should we do?
I don’t know. I’ve got it. You wait here.
Mary: What are you doing?
Tom: I’m going to ask someone for directions.
Mary: But there’s no one around here.
It’s completely deserted. In fact, it looks kind of dangerous.
Tom: Do you have a better idea?
Mary: Yes. Let’s just call the restaurant and ask them how to get there.
Tom: That makes sense.
