An old man went to live with his son, daughter-in-law, and 4-year-old grandson. The old man’s hands
36 , his eyesight was not clear, and his
37 unsteady（不稳定的）. The family were
38 every night at the dinner table. But the elderly grandfather’s shaky hands and
39 sight made this rather difficult. Peas rolled off his spoon onto the floor. When he grasped the glass,
40 would often spill（洒落）onto the tablecloth.“We must do some-thing about grandfather,”said the husband.
So the husband and wife set a small table in the corner. There , grandfather ate
41 in the corner while the rest of the family enjoyed dinner at the dinner table.
42 grandfather had already broken a dish or two , his food was served in a
43 bowl. Sometimes, when the family
44 grandfather, he had a tear in his eye as he ate alone.
45 , the only words the couple had for him were sharp
46 when he dropped a fork or spilled food. The 4-year-old boy watched all this
47 .
One evening before supper, the father
48 his son playing with wood scraps（小块）on the floor. He asked the child sweetly :“What are you making?” Just as
49 , the boy answered:“Oh, I am making a little
50 for you and mama to eat your food from when I grow up.”The 4-year-old boy smiled and went back to
51 on it.
The words
52 the parents so much that they were
53 . Then tears started to stream down their cheeks.
54 no word was spoken , both knew what they had to do. That evening, the husband took grandfather’s hand and
55 led him back to the family table.
