Maria walks through the park. It is a sunny day. She sees an old man on a bench. The man looks worried. He holds a piece of paper in his hands. Maria stops and looks at him. 'Hello. Do you need help?' she asks. The old man looks up at her. 'Yes, please. I am lost,' he says. 'I am looking for this address,' he adds. He shows her the paper. Maria reads the address. 'I know this place. It is not far,' she says. The man smiles with relief. 'Can you show me the way?' he asks. 'Of course. I can walk with you,' Maria says. They start walking together. 'My name is Maria,' she says. 'I am Hans. Nice to meet you,' the man replies. 'Are you visiting someone?' Maria asks. 'Yes, my daughter lives here,' Hans says. 'I come from a small town far away.' 'The city is so big and confusing,' he adds. Maria nods and smiles. 'I understand. I felt the same when I moved here.' They walk past a big fountain. 'We are almost there,' Maria says. They turn left at the corner. 'Here it is! Number 15,' Maria points. Hans looks at the building and laughs happily. 'Thank you so much, Maria!' he says. 'You are very kind.' 'It was my pleasure,' Maria replies. 'Have a wonderful visit with your daughter.' Hans waves goodbye and walks to the door. Maria continues her walk in the park. She feels happy that she could help.
