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.

    Attendant: Whereabouts are you headed?

    Grandpa: Pete Waters's farm, near Chesterton.

    Attendant: I know it well. Pete Waters' 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-is 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 bam. That's the back of Pete Waters's place.

    Grandpa: That's quite a difference from the directions that Pete sent me.

    Attendant: 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 cent. No charge for the cleanup. It's on the house.

    Grandpa: Well, here's a twenty.

    Attendant: Ah. OK. That's a dollar and thirty cents change. Thee we go…… will mae twenty. Thanks.

    Grandpa: Thank you. And thanks for the directions.

    Grandpa: This must be Peteps barn.Turn right to the 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. Keep along this road till you get to the end of the fence. You'll see the chicken. His house is on the left.

    Grandpa: Well, thanks.

    Grandpa: "have gone to the railroad station. Back soon with a surprise. Make yourself at home. Have a look around Pete." Same old Pete Waters. Always full of surprises.
