The old Grandfather and his grand son

Once upon a time, there was a very old grandfather. His eyes were almost blind. His ears were deaf and his knees shook. When he sat on the table, he could not hold the spoon strongly. He spilled soup on the table cloth. Besides, some of his soup would run back out his mouth.
His son and his son’s wife were annoyed. Finally, they made the old grandfather sat in the corner behind the stove. They gave him not enough food in the clay bowl. He sat there and looked at them sadly. He was almost crying.
One day, the old grandfather could not hold the bowl because his hands were too weak. The bowl fell to the ground and broke. The woman scolded him. However, the old grandfather did not say anything. He could only cry. Then, they bought him a wooden bowl and made him eat from it.
Once, the husband and wife were sitting in the dining room. Their four-year-old son, put together some pieces of wood on the floor. His father asked him what he was doing.
The little child said that he was making a bowl for his mother and father to eat from where he became an adult. They began to cry. They brought the old grandfather to the table immediately. Since then, they always let him eat there. If he spilled a little, they did not say anything.
