An old man went to live with his son，his daughter﹣in﹣law，and a four﹣year﹣old grandson．The

old man's hands trembled，his eyesight was very poor，and he couldn't walk steadily（平稳地）．The

family ate together nightly at the dinner table．But the elderly grandfather's shaky hands and

failing sight made eating rather difficult．Rice often dropped on the floor．

The son and the daughter﹣in﹣law became angry with the old man，so they put a small table in the corner．There，the grandfather ate alone，while the rest of the family enjoyed dinner at the table．Since the grandfather had broken a dish or two，his food was served in a wooden bowl．

The four﹣year﹣old son watched it all in silence．One evening before supper，the father noticed his son playing with a piece of wood on the floor．He asked the child sweetly，"What are you making？"The boy answered，"Oh，I am making a little bowl for you and mama to eat your food from when I grow up．"The four﹣year﹣old son smiled and went back to work．The words struckthe parents so that they were in silence．Then tears started to stream down their cheeks（脍颊）．Though no word was spoken，both knew what must be done．That evening the husband took grandfather's hand and gently led him back to the family table．
