“Mrs. White’s grandfather lived with his granddaughter and his wife. Every
morning, Mr. White went for a walk in the park and came home at half past twelve for lunch.
One morning a police car stopped outside Mrs. White’s house at twelve o’clock and
the policeman helped Mr. White to get out. One of them said to Mrs. White, “The poor old
gentleman lost his way in the park and telephoned us for help. So they decided to send a car
to bring him home.”
Mrs. White was very surprised, but she thanked the policemen and they left.
“Grandfather, you have been to that park nearly every day for twenty years. How did
you lose your way there?”, asked Julie.
The old man smiled, closed one eye and said, “I didn’t quite lose my way. I just got
tired and I didn’t want to walk home!”
