[00:22.360]She does not know London very well, and she lost her way.
[00:27.640]Suddenly, she saw a man near a bus stop.
[00:32.160]'I can ask him the way.' she said to herself.^“
[00:37.240]'Excuse me,' she said. 'Can you tell me the way to King Street, please?'^“
[00:45.480]The man smiled pleasantly.
[00:48.760]He did not understand English!
[00:52.320]He spoke German.
[00:54.640]He was a tourist.
[00:57.080]Then he put his hand into his pocket,and took out a phrasebook.
[01:03.760]He opened the book and found a phrase.
[01:07.920]He read the phrase slowly.
