Read the story and answer the question
Grandpa and I love to visit the aquarium together. A little later you'll see why. One day, when we were moving from the shark exhibit to the octopus exhibit, a group of children of about my age came up from behind us. The space there is narrow. One child said loudly, Go faster, old man.' Another remarked, Why does this old fellow want to look at the fish?' One boy pushed my Grandpa, making him stagger and almost fall. I turned to face them. I didn't shout and yell, though I wanted to. Grandpa has always told me not to be rude to people whatever they say or do. So I just said, 'Hello, meet my grandfather. He walks slowly because he old. He biologist. He has actually met the great Jacques Cousteau. What? You don't know about Cousteau?You should read about him before you look at these exhibits. I've come to this aquarium tons of times with Grandpa, but every time I learn something new. Did you know that swordfish have special organs next to their eyes to keep their brains warm when the water is very cold? I learnt that today." The children were staring at grandpa goggle-eyed. They were ashamed, of course, but they were also wonder-struck. And very curious to know more. So then we ended up having a lovely marine biology lesson just outside the aquarium. Grandpa sat on a bench talking and holding his fingers to show how tiny a baby squid is. The rest of us crowded around and asked up questions non-stop. I think Grandpa has a lot of admirers now. I think those children are going to keep coming back and learning more. And I bet they will look at other elderly people with more respect in future.
