Sofía looks for a museum in Lisbon. Her phone says it is close. But the streets go up and down. They turn and stop.
She stops in a small square. A cat sleeps on a chair. An old woman hangs clothes on a balcony.
"Excuse me! Where is the museum?" The old woman frowns. She goes inside.
The woman comes back. She has a small map. It shows three streets and one fountain. "Don't trust your phone here," she says.
Sofía says thank you. She does not find the museum. But she keeps the map. She still has it today.
That's the story.
