1、TheOldManandHisGrandsonA long time ago there lived a very old man. He was so old that he could not see or hear very well. He also could not walk very well, or eat very well for his hand shook. The old mans son and daughter in law thought he was a nuisance. So, they had him to eat his meals squatted
2、in the corner, behind the stove.They gave him very little to eat. The old man would have sad look on his face as he looked at his son and daughter in laws dinner table. One day the old mans hand shook so terribly that he dropped his dish on the floor. The daughter in law started lecturing and scoldi
3、ng. And from that day, his meals were served in a shabby dish.Not long afterwards, the family was sitting having their dinner. When, their four year old grandson was sitting on the floor carefully laying out and checking each of branches. The father asked, What are you doing? I am making a small bar
4、rel.Why are you making it? The son answered, So that I can fill it with yours and mothers portion of food, when I grow up.The old mans son and daughter in law looked at one another and without saying a word started weeping. The two quickly brought their old father to their dinner table. From that day on, the old man sat with the family when they had their meals. Even when the old man spilt his food here and there, the son and the daughter in law did not say a word.
