A tourist doesn't know how to find the Lenin square. She asks a passer-by about the way to it, and he tells that she should reach a big house, turn to the right, cross the bridge and go along the street. The tourist asks him to repeat it once more since she does not speak Russian fluently, and then she thanks him for the help.
