On the road to Pete Waters' farm. Grandpa is driving. He stops at a gas station near Chesterton.
Attendant:	Hello. What can I do for you?
Grandpa:	Hi. Fill 'er up. I need a full tank.
Attendant:	Check the hood?
Grandpa:	No, thanks. [He gets out of the car.]
Attendant:	Whereabouts are you headed?
Grandpa:	Pete Waters' farm, near Chesterton.
Attendant:	I know it well. Pete Waters's lived around here almost as long as I have.
Grandpa:	How long is it going to take for me to get there?
Attendant:	About fifteen minutes. There's a shortcut—if you know it.
Grandpa:	No, I don't. Could you tell me how to use the shortcut?
Attendant:	Sure. You take the next left turn. You'll see a stop sign. Make a right at the stop sign. Stay on that road, and you'll cross a blue bridge. Then you'll see a big old red barn. That's the back of Pete Waters' place.
Grandpa:	That's quite a difference from the directions that Pete sent me. [He looks at the piece of paper with the directions.]
Attendant:	[looking at the paper] Now, if you take that route, it's probably a lot simpler, but it'll take you ten minutes longer.
Grandpa:	OK. Let me repeat it. I take the next left turn to the stop sign. Then a right across a blue bridge, and then a big red barn.
Attendant:	Can't miss it.
Grandpa:	How much do I owe you?
Attendant:	Well, that'll be eighteen dollars and seventy cents. No charge for the cleanup. It's on the house. [Grandpa takes a twenty-dollar bill from his pocket and hands it to the attendant.]
Grandpa:	Well, here's a twenty.
Attendant:	[He takes the change from his pocket.] Ah. OK. That's a dollar and thirty cents change. [He counts out the change and gives it to Grandpa.] There we go ... will make twenty. Thanks.
Grandpa:	Thank you. And thanks for the directions. [He gets back into the car and drives away. He thinks aloud as he follows the attendant's directions.] This must be Pete's barn. Turn right to the house. [He stops the car to ask a farm worker for directions to Pete's house.] Hi.
Worker:	Hi. What can I do for you?
Grandpa:	Is this the Pete Waters' farm?
Worker:	It is.
Grandpa:	I'm a friend of Pete's. I'm looking for the house.
Worker:	It's just over yonder. [He points.] Keep along this road till you get to the end of the fence. You'll see the chicken house. His house is on the left.
Grandpa:	Well, thanks. [He shakes his hand.]
A little later. Grandpa arrives at Pete's house. He reads a note that Pete has left on the front door for him.
Grandpa:	[He reads the note.] "Have gone to the railroad station. Back soon with a surprise. Make yourself at home. Have a look around. Pete." [He laughs.] Same old Pete Waters. Always full of surprises.
