IV. Short Passage
Many men are proud of their sense of
direction which, according to many reports,
is much better than that of women’s. my
father is one of the scarce exceptions. He
is the type of person who seldom knows
where he is in relation to where he is going.
That is why we were almost shocked to
death when my father announced one day
that he was going to buy a car and was
learning to drive.
He managed to become a driver, but was
never allowed to drive alone until one day
there came a chance when nobody could
go with him together. We had to draw an
extremely detailed map for him, involving
everything that could ever help him
recognize the places where he was going
to. Confidently he left.
Though expected to come back at four, he
entered the house at eight. “Did you get
lost? Didn’t the map help?” A mountain of
questions followed before my father could
at last answer, “I arrived there quite easily
as a matter of fact,” said he, “But I got lost
in the building and failed to find my way
out of it. I spent quite a while there and got
out at last with the help of a clerk.
And then I found that it wasn’t the
entrance I formerly went into, so I couldn’t
find the parking lot where I parked the car.”
this was really beyond our prediction.
Then my mother asked, “How did you find
it at last?” “Not yet,” said my father, “ I took
a taxi and came back.”
