Question

An old man went to live with his son, daughter-in-law, and four-year-old grandson. The family ate together at the table, but the old man’s shaky hands and failing sight made eating difficult. Peas rolled off his spoon onto the floor. When he grasped the glass, milk spilled on the tablecloth. His son and daughter-in-law became angry with him. So they set a small table in the corner. There the old man ate alone while the rest of the family enjoyed dinner.

Since he had broken a dish or two, the old man’s food was served in a wooden bowl. Still, the only words the couple had for him was sharp admonitions(警告) when he dropped a fork or spilled milk. His grandson watched it silently. One evening, the son of the old man noticed the child playing with wood scraps and asked him sweetly, “What are you doing?” The boy responded, “Oh, I am making a bowl for you and mum to eat your food in when I grow up.”

The words struck the boy’s father so hard that he was speechless. Then tears started to stream down his cheeks. That evening he led his father back to the family table. From then on, the old man ate every meal with the family. Neither husband nor wife seemed to care any longer when a fork was dropped, milk spilled or the tablecloth soiled.

Answer 1

    The story tells us that the grandfather was treated badly by his son and daughter-in-law and that the couple’s attitudes changed after they saw their son preparing a wooden bowl for them.

    As for me, I always have respect and love for the elderly. My grandparents tend to talk about their past good old days to me. To be honest, I have no interest in their topics, but I always pretend to enjoy listening, because I know that will make them happy. Besides, I have formed a habit of taking a walk with them after dinner on weekends, talking about my study and their rich experience and asking them for advice sometimes.

    In my opinion, we should treat the elderly just as how we want to be treated when we are old. Honor and respect should be given to them by their families and the whole society, because they have devoted themselves to the development of our country. Besides, they’ve already contributed a lot to the society and their families. They deserve the love from us all.
