old person: i need you to go to this place
me: ok just give me the name of the place or the address and i can find it no problem
old person: you go down the road for exactly 9 intersections and turn left
me: the address
old person: you’re gonna go down that road for about the length of six football fields until you come to a grey building, turn there
me: the address
old person: that’ll take you into the woods, you’re gonna want to take a turn at every elm tree you see– i trust you know how to identify elms
me: address
old person: by then you will have reached the gnome encampment, their chief will give you a lantern that will help you on your quest, but only after you help him find his magic beans,
