[英语原文]

Tom is a very old man. After dinner， he likes walking in the street. And he goes to bed at seven oclock.

But tonight， a car stopped at his house. A policeman helps him get out. He tells Toms wife， “The old man couldnt find his way in the street. He asked me to take him in the car.”

After the policeman leaves there， his wife asks， “Tom， you go to the street every night. But tonight you cant find the way， whats the matter？”

The old man smiles like a child and says， “I couldnt find my way？ I didnt want to walk home.”

[汉语翻译]

汤姆是一个老人，他喜欢在晚饭后到大街上散步，7点时回来睡觉。

但是，今天晚上，一辆小汽车停在了他家门前，汤姆在一个警察的帮助下走下汽车。警察告诉汤姆的妻子：“这个老人在街上迷路了，他让我用汽车送他回来。”

警察走后，汤姆的妻子问道：“汤姆，你每天都到那条街上散步，但今天你竟然迷路了，你怎么了？”

这个老人像孩子般地笑道：“我迷路了？我只是不想走路回家。”

[快人快语]

同学们，汤姆的妻子知道真相后，她会怎么说呢？
