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
