Leo gets lost in a new city and asks a kind stranger for directions to the museum.
Leo is on vacation in a new city. He is fifteen years old. Today he wants to see the old museum.
Leo has a map. But it is hard to read. He does not know the way.
He sees a woman near a shop. She has a friendly face. Leo decides to ask her for help.
"Excuse me," Leo says. "Can you help me, please?"
"Of course," the woman says. "What do you need?"
"I want to find the old museum," Leo says. "I don't know the way."
The woman smiles. "It's not far," she says. "Walk straight down this street."
"Then turn left at the big clock," she says. "The museum is on the right."
"Thank you so much!" Leo says.
"You're welcome. Have a nice day!" the woman says.
Leo walks straight down the street. He counts the shops. He watches the street carefully.
Soon, he sees the clock. He turns left. He walks a little more.
There it is! The old museum stands in front of him. Leo feels very happy.
He walks inside. He looks around the room. He is happy to visit the new city.
