The Old Man and His Grandson
Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm
There was once a very old man, whose eyes had become
dim, his ears dull of hearing, his knees trembled, and when he sat
at table he could hardly hold the spoon, and spilt the broth upon the
table-cloth or let it run out of his mouth. His son and his son’s wife
were disgusted at this, so the old grandfather at last had to sit in the
corner behind the stove, and they gave him his food in an
earthenware bowl, and not even enough of it. And he used to look
towards the table with his eyes full of tears. Once, too, his
trembling hands could not hold the bowl, and it fell to the ground
and broke. The young wife scolded him, but he said nothing and
only sighed. Then they bought him a wooden bowl for a few half-
pence, out of which he had to eat.
They were once sitting thus when the little grandson of four
years old began to gather together some bits of wood upon the
ground. “What are you doing there?” asked the father. “I am
making a little trough,” answered the child, “for father and mother
to eat out of when I am big.”
The man and his wife looked at each other for a while, and
presently began to cry. Then they took the old grandfather to the
table, and henceforth always let him eat with them, and likewise
said nothing if he did spill a little of anything.
