"Is that why you were at the nursing home

when I picked you up?" David asked.
"Not totally," Jack said. "There was one car
I really wanted to ride in, so I may have let on to

the owner that I'd escaped from the nursing home,
hoping he would feel sorry for me and give me a
ride back. Even though it was just across the

street, I figured he'd lengthen the ride around
town, and I was right."

"You let the car owner think you had come
from the nursing home so he'd give you a ride?"
David asked in surprise. "Isn't that sneaky?"
"All I can say," Jack replied, "is if a man is

dealt a bad hand, he should use it to his
advantage."
