unit20 A Little Knowledge A rich businessman was driving through the countryside in his large car. He had an important business appointment in the village of Newbury and was already late for it. He was irritable and in a hurry. Unfortunately, Newbury was in a part of the country he did not know very well, and he did not know how to get to it. He was soon completely lost. He had a map in his car, but since he didnt know where he was, the map was useless. He knew he had to find someone and ask him the way. He drove on slowly until he saw a man walking along the road with a cow. Ill ask him the way to Newbury, he decided. He stopped the car, opened the window and put his head out. Excuse me, he said to the man with the cow, but how far is it from here to Newbury? I dont know, the man said. Does this road go to Newbury? the businessman asked. I dont know, the man with the cow said. Well, do you know where Newbury is? the businessman demanded impatiently. No, the man with the cow said.
