The young man pointed to the far distance in front while guiding him.
The elderly man looked confused.
Alvin stopped and asked where is the elderly man going to.
Before the elderly man finished telling the address, the young man interrupted and said to him, "I'm sorry I do not work around this area," and walked off.
Alvin showed the elderly man where is the location of the building, the color, any landmark on the building and the fastest way to get there.
He went on to ask which office or shop the elderly man was going to make sure that the address is correct.
What's the difference between Alvin and the young man?
Is the reason that the young man is not working there and therefore not familiar with the place valid? Was he in a rush? Or he couldn't be bothered to help?
Could he have taken out his smart phone and google for the address? Or he does not carry one and thus was unable to.
Or does he see giving road direction to a lost person is a waste of his time? One that does not benefit him in any way?
