Do you know your left from your right? It can be confusing! To find their way around, people use maps and they ask questions. People ask for directions. Have you ever been told the positions of things without understanding what was meant, so you could not find them? Has your Mom or your Dad ever asked you to go and fetch something from your room, and told you how to find it?
