One weekend, Arif joins a school trip to Yogyakarta with his classmates and teachers. He feels excited because it is his first time visiting the city. They visit famous places like Malioboro Street and the Yogyakarta Palace.

After walking for a long time, Arif wants to buy souvenirs. He asks permission from his teacher to go to a nearby shop with Bima. The street is crowded and full of people. There are many shops, street food sellers, and tourists.

After buying souvenirs, Arif looks around and feels confused. He cannot see his class or his teacher. His heart starts to beat fast.

“Bima, I think we are lost,” Arif says nervously.
Bima stays calm. “Don’t worry. Let’s ask for help.”
They see a police officer standing near the street corner. Arif walks to him and speaks politely, “Excuse me, Sir. We are students, and we are lost. Can you help us find Malioboro Street?”
The officer smiles and gives them clear directions. “Go straight, turn left at the traffic light, and you will see a big statue. Your group is near that place.”

Arif listens carefully and thanks the officer. They follow the directions and finally see their classmates waiting near a bus.

The teacher looks worried but relieved when she sees them. “Next time, please stay together,” she says kindly.

On the bus, Arif feels thankful. He learns how important it is to stay calm and ask for help politely. He also learns how to give and understand directions in English.
The trip to Yogyakarta becomes an unforgettable experience for Arif and Bima.
