0Mike's father is il. His mother must look after him at home. So she says to her son, "Go to the hospital, andask a doctor to come here. Mike."
"OK, " says the boy."But where is the hospital?"
" In the town," answers his mother.
Then Mike leaves his house. He gets to a fork. He doesn't know if he must turn to the left or right. He
stands there. Just then a farmer drives a car and comes.
"How far is the town from here? " asks Mike."Two kilometers," answers the farmer.
"May I go with you?""Certainly.""Thank you very much, " Mike is happy and gets in the car. Half an hour later the car doesn't get to the town.
"How far is the town from here? " Mike asks again.
"Four kilometers, " says the farmer.
"Why is the town farther now?"
"The car is going in the opposite direction."
