The sheet is a strip: it is long and narrow because a route is long and narrow, and everything either side of it is blank because he did not go there.",
  "story": "*Inference —* a strip map is what you draw when there is one way to go. Bock went up the Ping by boat and over the passes by elephant, and the sheet is shaped like that journey. Ninety years later the same trip is Route 11 and Route 118 and you can do it between breakfast and lunch."

  "story": "*อนุมาน —* แผนที่แบบแถบคือสิ่งที่คุณวาดเมื่อมีทางไปทางเดียว บ็อกขึ้นแม่ปิงด้วยเรือและข้ามช่องเขาด้วยช้าง และแผ่นนี้มีรูปร่างเหมือนการเดินทางนั้น เก้าสิบปีต่อมา ทริปเดียวกันคือทางหลวง 11 กับ 118 และไปได้ระหว่างมื้อเช้ากับมื้อเที่ยง"
