Mr Brown's old grandfather lived with her and her
husband. Every morning he went for a walk in the park and came home at half
past twelve for his lunch.
But one morning a police car
stopped outside Mrs Brown's house at twelve o'clock, and two policemen helped
Mr Brown to get out one of them said to Mrs Brown, " The poor old
gentleman lost his way in the park and telephoned us for help, so we sent a car
to bring him home ". Mrs Brown was very surprised, but she thanked the
policemen and they left.
‘But, Grandfather’. She then said, ‘You have been to that
park nearly every day for twenty years, how did you lose your way there ?’
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 !’.”
