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.
