The Old Grandfather and His Grandson

Once upon a time there was a very old

grandfather. His eyes were almost blind, his ears weredeaf, and his knees shook. When he sat at the table,

he could not hold a spoon strongly. He spilled soup

on the tablecloth. Besides this, some of his soup

would run back out of his mouth.

His son and his son's wife were annoyed by

this. Finally, they made the old grandfather sit in the

corner next to the stove. They gave him not enough

food in a clay bowl. He sat there and looked sadly

at the table. He was almost crying.

One day the old grandfather could not hold

the bowl because his hands were too weak. The bowldropped to the ground and broke. The woman

scolded him up. However, the old grandfather did

not respond it. He only cried in his small messy

bedroom. Then, they bought him a wooden bowl

and made him eat from it.

Once when they were all sitting in the

terrace, the five-year-old grandson was putting some

pieces of wood together on the floor. His father

asked him what he was doing. The little boy said

that he was making a small bowl for his father

and mother to eat from when he is big.The man and the woman looked at one

another. They began to cry. They brought the old

grandfather to the table immediately. Since then,

they always let him eat there. And they took care of

the old man patiently.
