Question

Some people have a very poor sense of direction. Unluckily ， I am one of them . I have visited a place many times but I may still get lost there the next time .

When I was a little girl ，I never dared ask strangers the way . And so I used to walk round in circles and hope that by chance I would get to the place I was going to .

Now ，I am no longer too shy to ask people for directions ，but I often receive helpless or even wrong information . So I try to avoid giving people wrong directions . If anyone ever asks the way somewhere ，I always say ，"Sorry ，I am a stranger here ."

Once on my way to work I was stopped by a man . He asked me if I could tell him the way to the Friendship Building . I gave him my usual reply. But just as I walked on only a few steps ， I realized that he had asked the way to my office building . However ，I had no time to return back and look for him . I was rushing to meet with someone at my office and I didn't want to keep him waiting.

When I just got to my office ，the secretory showed in the man who had asked me for directions . Imagine how embarrassed I was and how surprised he was when we saw each other at the first sight!
