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.

There is another version of this story.In that version,the character is not grandfather but grandmother,there are three members in their family: The mother(daughter in law of grandmother),the granddaughter,then the grandmother herself.They lived in a small house in mexico.The mother worked as a potter since her husband was died long ago and they lived a very modest living.Her mother in law was so weak to live alone,she pitied her and allowed her to live with her and her daughter.
Everything was just fine when she came to start a new life in her daughter in law's house,but the disaster came when they're having dinner.Because grandmother's eyes were so weak,she spill the soup to the table,and this is made mother upset.She yell at her until she cried.The next day at dinner,the grandmother was not only spill the soup,but broke the glass bowl is well,as predicted,her daughter in law is became more upset.Then she made her eat in the kitchen with clay bowl.
The granddaughter was very sad because of that,and angry with how her mother treat her grandma.She came to her grandmother and comfort her,then she asked grandmother to eat in the dining room next dinner and broke the clay bowl,the grandmother was very confused with what her granddaughter asked,but the granddaughter convince that everything will be just fine.Finally she agreed.
In the next dinner,Grandmother do what her granddaughter asked.The mother was very angry and scolded her,and said "You really clumsy and deaf ! I asked you to eat in the kitchen but you still eat here,and then you broke my clay bowl is well ! that's it ! i will never give you any food before you fix this bowl" after said mean words like that,the mother went to her room with anger,leaved grandmother in tears.Grandmother try to fix the mess but her granddaughter asked her for not.She asked her grandmother to just sat back and relax,she'll clean and fix the bowl.While granddaughter fix the pieces of clay bowl,her mother back.She really mad because of it and ready to scolded grandmother again,but before she can do that,her daughter said calmly,"I fix this pieces not for grandmother,but for you,so when i grow up and you become old,i will give this bowl for you to eat".This made mother cried and beg for forgiveness from her mother.Grandmother has a big heart(as every mother does) and gave the forgiveness.From then on,they live happily ever after.......
