«Laura is at the airport»

Laura is at the airport. She waits for her flight. Her flight is delayed, so Laura walks around the airport and looks at the shops. She has a nice time.

After a while she wants to go to the bathroom. She wants to know where it is, but she can’t find it.

«Where is the bathroom?» she asks herself.

She looks and looks, but she doesn’t find it. She starts asking people where it is.

«Excuse me sir, could you please tell me where the bathroom is?», Laura says.

«You mean the restroom, right?», the man says.

«No, I mean the bathroom.», Laura says.

«Well, the restroom is over there.» He says and and he walks away.

Laura doesn’t understand. She asks a lady:

«Excuse me madam, could you please tell me where the bathroom is?»

«The restroom is over there,» the lady answers and walks away.

Laura is confused! «What’s their problem? I need to use the bathroom and they send me to rest?! I don’t need a restroom, I need the bathroom!», Laura thinks to herself.

After a while, Laura gives up. She feels tired of all this walking and asking. She decides that maybe they are all right and she really needs to rest.

She walks to the restroom. Now she is surprised! She realizes the restroom is actually the name for a public bathroom!
