“Have you lost your socks again?” asked Mrs Lauren. “Yes, dear,” replied Farmer Lauren, “And please find my glasses too!” “How you manage to run this farm, I don’t know!” said Mrs Lauren. “The farm is large, my dear,” explained Mr Lauren, “It’s these little things that get lost!” But one day, something large got lost. Farmer Lauren didn’t return in the evening and everyone in the neighbourhood set off to search for him. The search took them all night. Mrs Lauren kept weeping. In the morning, the newspaper boy saw him sitting in the churchyard with an old man! Mrs Lauren ran to fetch him home. “What were you doing there? And who is this man?” she wept. “This poor fellow couldn’t remember his address,” explained Mr Lauren, “He wouldn’t come with me either. I couldn’t leave him alone, could I?” Mrs Lauren hugged him for his kindness as the others led the old man home!
