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
