👴🍽️ The Old Man and the Old Dish 🍲👶

🤯Once, there lived a very old man. His eyes were dim, his hearing dulled, and his knees trembled. He could hardly hold a spoon and often spilled soup on the tablecloth during meals, and sometimes bits of food fell from his mouth. His son and daughter-in-law looked at the old man with disgust and began seating him in the corner by the stove during meals, serving his food in an old dish.

🤯From there, he sadly gazed at the table, and his eyes would well up with tears. One day, his hands shook so badly that he couldn't hold the dish, and it fell to the floor, shattering. The young hostess scolded the old man, but he didn't say a word, only sighed heavily. So, they bought him a wooden bowl, and now he had to eat from it.

🧒 One day, as the parents sat at the table, their four-year-old son entered the room with a piece of wood in his hands. "What do you want to do?" asked the father.

👦 "I want to make a wooden dish," replied the little one, "so that you and Mom can eat from it when I grow up." 🍽️❤️
