Daniella: Could you tell where I can find a drugstore?
Hotel clerk: Sure. There’s one up the street near the corner of Selma and Main. If you get to Abreu Avenue, you’ve gone too far . It’s set back from the street so it’s a little hard to find.
Daniella: Oh, that’s okay. I’ll keep an eye out for it.
Hotel clerk: You know, I just remembered that there’s a bigger and better drugstore around the block . It’s no more than a three- minute walk. Go out the main doors of the hotel, hang a left , go straight for about a quarter of a mile , and then make another left at the first street.
Daniella: Okay. I think I’ve got that. Thanks.
Hotel clerk: Now, if you want a drugstore with a pharmacy, you’ll need to walk a little farther . Go out these doors, walk roughly three blocks until you get to a dead end , turn right, crossthe street, and you’ll see a bank. It’s kitty-corner from the bank. You should be able to walk there in five minutes, give or take .
Daniella: Thanks. Thanks a lot. I think I’m all set. See you later.
Hotel clerk: You know , I just remembered that there’s another drugstore...
Daniella: Thanks, but I’ve really got to get going. Bye.
Hotel clerk: Well, some people just don’t appreciate other people’s help!
