English Original
Tom is an elderly man. After dinner, he enjoys taking a walk in the street and goes to bed at seven o'clock.
One evening, a police car stops at his house. An officer helps him out and tells Tom's wife, "The old gentleman couldn't find his way in the street. He asked me for a ride home."
After the policeman leaves, his wife asks, "Tom, you walk down that street every night. How could you get lost tonight?"
The old man smiles like a child and says, "Get lost? I just didn't want to walk home."

汤姆是位老人。晚饭后，他喜欢在街上散步，并在七点钟上床睡觉。
一天晚上，一辆警车停在他家门前。一位警官扶他下车，并告诉汤姆的妻子：“这位老先生在街上找不到路了，他请求我载他回家。”
警察离开后，他的妻子问道：“汤姆，你每晚都走那条街。今晚怎么会迷路呢？”
老人像个孩子一样笑了，说道：“迷路？我只是不想走路回家罢了。”
