W:Do you know Tom?

W:Tom what?

M:Tom Smith.

W:No.But I know a Tim Smith.

M:Oh,yes,you are right.It was Tim Smith I meant.You know what happened to him the other day?

No,what happened then?

M:Well,he told me he saw his dead grandfather in London.

W:Oh,come on.You are not telling a ghost story,are you?

M:But he told me it was true.You see,his grandfather used to be an army officer during the war.And because he didn't return home after the war,everybody though t he had been killed in the war.

W:But then,he suddenly appeared.alive,like in those films.

M:Exactly.Tom,oh no,Tim,told me that by chance he saw an old man at the railway station selling newspapers.And he was surprised to see.someone like his grandfather in a picture he had seen.So naturally he went to the man and asked him whether his name was Smith.And the man,I mean,his grandfather,said yes,and after that everything happened just like a film.

W:Amazing.But why didn't the old man go back to his hometown after the war?

M:Well,that's another long story.I'll tell you later.
