　　I travel a lot, and I find out different“styles”of directions every time when I ask“How can I get to the post office?”

　　Foreign tourists are often confused in Japan because most streets there don't have names; in Japan, people use landmarks(地标)in their directions instead of street names．For example, the Japanese will say to travelers,“Go straight down to the corner．Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market．The post office is across from the bus stop．”

　　In the countryside of the American Midwest, there are not usually many landmarks．There are no mountains, so the land is very flat; in many places there are no towns or buildings within miles．Instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distances．In Kansas or Iowa, for example, people will say,“Go north two miles．Turn east, and then go another mile．”People in Los Angeles, California, have no idea of distance on the map; they measure distance in time, not miles．“How far away is the post office?”you ask．“Oh,”they answer,“it's about five minutes from here．”You say,“Yes, but how many miles away is it?”They don't know．

　　It's true that a person doesn't know the answer to your question sometimes．What happens in such a situation?A New Yorker might say,“Sorry, I have no idea．”But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers“I don't know．”People in Yucatan believe that“I don't know”is impolite．They usually give an answer, often a wrong one．A tourist can get very, very lost in Yucatan!

　　Last Friday my brother and I were driving home together after doing some shopping and gave our attention to an interesting conversation．Because of this distraction(分心)my brother took a wrong turn．

　　Unfortunately, the wrong turn took us towards a bridge and we had no way to turn back．Unwillingly, my brother paid the bridge fee and drove on．He was clearly frustrated by the mistake and the needless waste of ＄4．

　　We eventually reached an exit and, as we took it, my brother noticed a young fellow pulled over to the side of the road．He came out of his car and tried to phone someone．I was busy trying to figure out which way we would go next but my brother pulled over and asked the guy if he needed any help．And he did．He had a flat tire and needed a tool to get it off．

　　My brother gave him a wrench, and then began to help him change the flat．The young man said that this had been a bad week for him：earlier he had gotten into a minor car accident, and now this flat on his way home from work．But he called us “a breath of fresh air” and kept thanking us because he really would have been stuck if we hadn't come along．

　　After we finished the job he thanked us again and pulled out ＄20 from his pocket and tried to give it to us．“No, ” I said．“We were never supposed to even get on that bridge, we took a wrong turn．But now we know why we did．It was to help you．Thank you for turning our mistake into an opportunity to serve．”
