Question

paragraph writing

A weak 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 elderly grandfather's shaky hands and failing sight made eating difficult. Peas rolled off his spoon on to the floor. When he grasped the glass, milk spilled on the table cloth. The son and daughter-in-law became angry. “Something must be done about father,” said the son. So the husband and wife set a small table in the corner. There, grandfather ate dinner alone. Since he had broken a dish or two, his food was served in a wooden bowl. He had a tear or two in his eyes as he sat alone seeing the family glancing at him occasionally. The four-year-old watched it all in silence. One evening before supper the couple noticed their son working with wooden scraps on the floor. The father asked the child, “What are you making?” Innocently the boy responded, “Oh, I am making a little bowl for you and mamma to eat your food in when you grow old.” The parents were speechless. They did not utter a word. But that evening, the husband took grandfather’s hand and gently led him back to the family table.
