Nancy：Yes. Here you are. The bathroom is upstairs. It‘s the second door on the left.
（After a while）
Nancy：Have you found it？
Joe：Well，eh，yes，I mean no. I mean，I found the bathroom，but I didn‘t find what I was looking for!）
Here is a short dialogue. Read it and discuss with your partner：What is it that Joe can‘t find in the bathroom？Why can‘t he find it？
