Mrs.Turner was tired after her day’s shopping in London,so she went into a tea house for a cup of tea before catching the train home.While she was drinking tea,she suddenly remembered that she had to buy some medicine for her husband.

" Is there a chemist’s near here?” she asked the waiter.

“ Yes,madam,” the waiter said,“ It’s about three minutes’ walk away.Turn right when you go out of the tea house,then take the second turning on the left.You’ll find a big chemist’s about a hundred metres up the road on the right-hand side.”

Mrs.Turner found the chemist’s shop easily,she bought the medicine and started to make the way back to the tea house.But after she had walked for about ten minutes and there was no sign of the tea house,she knew she had made a mistake.

“ Oh,I am stupid!” said Mrs.Turner.“I’ve left all my shopping in the tea house and now I’m lost.” She didn’t know where to go when a policeman came up.She told him what had happened.

“ Well,first of all,” said the policeman.“ We had better go back as far as the chemist’s”

“Now,” said the policeman,when they got to the chemist’s ,“go that way to the main road and you’ll find the tea house on the opposite side of the road.”

Mrs.Turner thanked the policeman for his help “ I can’t understand how I went wrong.” She said.

The policeman smiled.“ It’s quite easy,” he said,“ to be lost in a big city like London.”
