Mrs Brown's old grandfather lived with her and her
husband in a small, detached cottage. Every morning he went for a walk in the
park, he met his friends there and he fed the ducks in the lake. He usually
came home at half past twelve for his lunch.
But one
morning a police car pulled up outside Mrs Brown's house at twelve o'clock, and
two policemen helped Mr Brown to get out. Mrs Brown saw the car from the
kitchen window, hurried out of the house and asked the policemen what had
happened. One of them said to Mrs Brown, "The poor old gentleman lost his
way in the park and telephoned us for help, so we sent a car to bring him
home." Mrs Brown was very surprised –that had never happened to her
grandfather before- but she decided not to say a word. She thanked the
policemen and they left.
She went
into the house with the old man and they sat at the kitchen table, where the
grandfather’s lunch was already waiting. "But, Grandpa," she then
said, "you have been to that park nearly everyday for twenty years. How
did you lose your way there?"
The old man smiled, closed one eye and
said, " I didn't lose my way. I just got tired and I didn't want to walk
home".

I studied
English at a school in London last summer. I was there for two months: May and
June. England is famous for bad food and weather, but I thought the food was
good. The pub lunches were very nice. But it’s true about the weather. Too much
rain for me.

And for
Friday, well, another wintry day in all parts of the region. Temperatures near
freezing in many places, and along the coast, the wind will make it feel very
cold indeed. Inland, some snow on the hills, and there may be fog in the
valleys. If you’re out and about driving, watch out for those icy roads! And
for the weekend? Well, we’re not expecting much change, I’m afraid. And that’s
all from me. Goodnight.
