A Clever Grandfather
Mrs Hall’s old grandfather lived with her and her husband. Every morning he went for a walk in the park and came home at twelve o’clock for his lunch.
But one afternoon a police car stopped outside Mrs Hall’s house at half past one, and two policemen helped her grandfather to get out. One of them said to Mrs Hall,”The poor old gentleman lost his way in the park and telephoned to us for help, so we went into a car to take him home.” Mrs Hall was very surprised, but she thanked the policemen and they left.
“ But, Grandfather,” she then said ,“you go 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!”
