Question

14．A weak old man lived with his son，his daughter-in-law，and his four-year-old grandson．His eyes couldn't see clearly，his hands trembled，and his step was unstable．
The family would eat together nightly at the dinner table．But the elderly grandfather's shaky hands and failing sight made eating rather difficult．Peas rolled off his spoon，dropping to the floor．When he grasped his glass of milk，it often spilled clumsily at the tablecloth．
With this happening almost every night，the son and daughter-in-law became irritated with the mess．So they decided to do something with the old man-they set a small table at the corner．There，the grandfather ate alone while the rest of the family enjoyed their dinner at the dinner table．Since the grandfather had broken a dish or two，his food was served in wooden bowls．Sometimes when the family glanced in the grandfather's direction，he had a tear in his eye as he ate alone．Still，the only words the couple had for him were sharp warnings when he dropped a fork or spilled food．The four-year-old watched it all in silence．
One evening，before supper，the father noticed his son playing with wood pieces on the floor．He asked the child sweetly："What are you making？"Just as sweetly，the boy replied，"Oh，I'm making a little bowl for you and mama to eat your food from when I grow up．"The four-year-old smiled and went back to work．
These words so struck the parents that they were speechless．Then tears streamed down their cheeks．Though no words were spoken，both knew what must be done．That evening，the husband took the grandfather's hand and gently led him back to the family table．
For the rest of his days，the grandfather ate every meal with the family．And for some reason，neither the husband nor the wife seemed to care any longer when a fork was dropped，milk was spilled or the table cloth was soiled．
