What has happened to the man?

M: Excuse me, madam. I’m a stranger here and I’m running low on gas, but I can’t seem to find a service station anywhere around here. Could you be kind enough to direct me to the nearest one?
W: No problem. This is a small town and even the nearest service station isn’t very close. First you take a left at the stop light. Proceed east for about a mile, and there’s one on your right, just next to the hospital.
M: I did not catch you very well. Would you mind going over the directions once more?
W: Not at all. Take a right at the stop light and continue on the street until you see the hospital on your fight. The service station is just next to the hospital, which is not far from a post office.
M: Thanks a lot. Does the service station accept credit cards?
W: No, it doesn’t. But there is a bank across the street from it and you can get money there if you like.
M: That’s probably what I’ll do.
W: You also might consider buying a map at the service station. This is a rural area and a little isolated, so it is very easy to get lost.
M: I think I’ll do that. I really appreciate your help.
W: It’s been my pleasure. Here is Little Stone Town; we welcome all visitors to our city.
