Dorai was waiting for his mother to take him
home after tuition when he saw two foreign
tourists nearby with a map in their hands trying
to make out the location of a place. Dorai could
tell they were having problems with the map. He
approached them. |
|
Dorai
: |
May I help you ? |
|
Jerry : |
Oh, hello. Yes. Maybe you can tell us how to get
to Royal Selangor. |
|
Dorai : |
Sure. Take this road and head
towards that
blue and white building. Then take the turning
to your left. Walk down the road until you reach
the traffic lights. From that junction you can
see Royal Selangor across the road. You can't
miss it, it has a big tankard outside the
building. |
|
Nick : |
How long does it take to get there ? |
|
Dorai : |
Well ... twenty minutes. |
|
Jerry : |
Can you tell us what is over there ? |
|
Dorai : |
Royal Selangor is the largest and oldest pewter
factory in Malaysia. You can take a guided tour
around the factory and see how pewter products
are made, from the liquid state to the finished
product. |
|
Nick : |
That sounds interesting. |
|
Dorai : |
It is. Wait till you lay your hands on a
tiny hammer and start knocking out
designs on the mug. |
|
Jerry : |
You mean there's hands-on opportunity for
visitors ? |
|
Dorai : |
Sure. There's more. Look out for the natural
polish for pewter. It is a hardy native plant
with prickly leaves. Rubbing he leaves against
the pewter produces a brilliant finish. |
|
Jerry : |
That's incredible ! Let's hurry over there,
Nick. |
|
Nick : |
Yeah, let's. Thanks a lot for the directions.
You have been a great help. |
|
Jerry : |
Yeah. thanks, buddy. |
|
Dorai : |
You're welcome. By the way, there is a showroom
that sells souvenirs. You should check it
out. |
|
Nick : |
Great idea ! |
|
Dorai : |
Well, enjoy yourselves. |
|
Jerry : |
We sure will. |
