Outside Reading Post # 8

Another story that I read was about a Grandfather who was getting old and so he moved in with his son, daughter-in-law and grandson. His hands were shaky, and he wasn't the neatest eater, so sometimes his peas would roll of his fork and he would spill his milk on the table cloth. The son and daughter-in-law made him sit at a different table in the corner of the kitchen and eat out of a wooden bowl so it wouldn't break. The grandson would look over and see a tear rolling down the grandfathers cheek when he was eating alone. One day the grandson was playing with some wood scraps on the ground when the dad asked him what he was doing. He answered "I'm making a wooden bowl for you and mother to eat out of when you get old." Sometimes we overlook the most important things in life. This story is trying to tell us not to forget the most important things like family.
