Asking the way

Bobby's grandmother is ill. She is in Sun Shing Hospital. Bobby's mother tells him to take a basket of eggs to her. But Bobby doesn't know the way. On the way Bobby sees an old man. The old man walks in front of him. He goes up and says, "Hi, old fellow…" But the old man doesn't answer him and walks on. Bobby gets puzzled. Suddenly(突然) he understands why. It is not polite(礼貌 ) to say "old fellow" to an old man. Now he goes up to the old man again and asks, "Excuse me, grandpa, would you please tell me the way to the Sun Shing Hospital?" The time the old man answers, "Well, go along this street, then turn left. It's just behind the post office."

Bobby thanks the old man and walks on. Soon he finds the hospital.
