Tom is a very old man. After dinner, he likes walking in the street. And he goes to bed at seven o’clock. But tonight, a car stopped at his house. A policeman helps him get out. He tells Tom’s wife¹, “The old man couldn’t find his way in the street. He asked me to take him in the car.” After the policeman leaves² there, his wife asks, “Tom, you go to the street every night. But tonight you can’t find the way, what’s the matter?” The old man smiles like a child and says, “I couldn’t find my way? I didn’t want to walk home.”
