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.
