The hubby and kids took a walk in the rain to the fire station. X described the route they took. And for this neither language is developed enough to express that they took a road which ran parallel to the big road.
To help him describe such a complex thought he tried to use other landmarks.
-You know, the place where they tank.
-You mean the gas station?
-Yeah, the gas station.
