The Grandfather and the Grandson : There was once an old man,whose eyes had become dim,his ears dull of hearing,his knees trembled,and when he sat at the table he could hardly hold the spoon,and silt the broth upon the table cloth or let it run out of his mouth. His son and his sons wife were disgusted at this,so the old man at last had to sit in the corner of the room away from the table ,and they gave him his food in an old unwashed bowl.and not even enough to fill his belly. The old man used to look towards the table with his eyes full of tears. Once,too,his trembling hands could not hold the bowl,and it fell to the ground and broke. His sons wife scolded him,but he said nothing and only sighed. Then they brought him a plastic bowl for a few half-pence,out of which he had to eat. The were sitting once sitting thus when the old man grandson of four years old began to gather some bits of wood upon the ground. “What are u doing there?” Asked the father. “I am making a little pig pen,” answered the child,“so for u and mummy to eat out off when I get big.” The man and his wife looked at each other with revelation for a while,and preaently began to cry. Then they took the old grandfather to the table,and hencforth always let him eat and treated him with much kindness.
