I Don’t Want to Walk Home

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.”

我不想走回家

汤姆是一位老人，他喜欢在晚饭后到大街上散步，在7点回来睡觉。

但是，今天晚上一辆小汽车停在他家门前，汤姆在一位警察的帮助下走下汽车。警察告诉汤姆的妻子：“这位老人在街上迷路了，他让我用汽车送他回来。”

警察走后：“汤姆，你每天都到那条街上散步，但是今天你迷路了，你怎么了？”

这位老人像孩子般的笑道：“我迷路了？我是不想走路回家。”
