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.
