Text B How Did You lose Your Way?

嗨嗨，神马时候走累了想坐车又没money，干脆就call警察叔叔帮帮忙呗，瞧人家老爷爷多威风啊，坐着警车回家。

Mrs Brown's old grandfather lived with her and her husband. Every morning he went for a walk in the park and came home at half past twelve for his lunch.
Mrs Brown的年老的爷爷和她及她丈夫住在一起。每天早上他都会去公园散步然后在12点半回家吃午饭。

But one morning a police car stopped outside Mrs Brown's house at twelve o'clock, and two policemen helped Mr Brown to get out. One of them said to Mrs Brown, The poor old gentleman lost his way in the park and telephoned to us for help, so we sent a car to bring him home. Mrs Brown was very surprised, but she thanked the policemen and they left.
但有一天早上12点时一辆警车停在了Mrs Brown家门外，两个警察把Mr Brown扶出警车。其中一位跟Mrs Brown说：“这位可怜的老人在公园迷路了，打电话向我们求救，所以我们用车把他带回家来。Mrs Brown 很吃惊，但她还是感谢两位警车，然后他们离开了。

“But, Grandfather,” she then said, “you have been to that park nearly every day for twenty years. How did you lose your way there?”
“但是，爷爷，”她说，“你几乎每天都去那个公园已经二十年了，你怎么会在那里迷路呢？”

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! ”
这位老人笑了，闭起一只眼睛说，“我并没有迷路，我只是累了不想走回家而已！”

钓鱼好玩呀，偶曾经连续掉起好多鱼，可就是没条够大够养眼够炫耀的噻，可俺们的主人公却把钓上来的大鱼统统扔了，这是为啥子类？

One morning a man was crossing a narrow bridge when he saw a fisherman on the shady bank of the deep, smooth river under him, so he stopped to watch him quietly.
After a few minutes, the fisherman pulled his line in. There was a big, fat fish at the end of it.
The fisherman took it off the hook and threw it back into the water. Then he put his hook and line in again. After a few more minutes he caught another big fish. Again he threw it back into the river. Then, the third time, he caught a small fish. He put it into his basket and started to get ready to go. The man on the bridge was very surprised, so he spoke to the fisherman. He said, “Why did you throw those beautiful, big fish back into the water and keep only that small one?”
The fisherman looked up and answered, “Small frying-pan.”
