READ THE FOLLOWING TEXT CAREFULLY.

Mrs. White’s 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 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 a car was sent 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?”
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!”
