Yesterday my son， daughter and I went to the ...

Yesterday my son， daughter and I went to the grocery store. In front of us in line was a little girl with her mother. The little girl was asking her mother for a box of Smarties. The polite way she was asking almost broke the mother’s heart， “I’m sorry， Honey， but we have no money to buy it.”

My son was watching that dialogue. By the way， he had been raking(用耙子耙)leaves our garden to raise himself some money to buy a bike. As he watched the mother and daughter leave the store， he ran to the candy counter(柜台)and bought a box of Smarties with the money .

He turned to look at me and I just nodded. He ran out after the little girl and her mother and he gave them the box. He came back and told me what he told them. “Every kid should have a pack of Smarties because they can make you smart.”

I was so excited that I bought a pack of Smarties for my son. I told him that I was proud of him， and that was for his act of generosity because he gave his own Smarties to others. Quickly， he replied， “But you do nice things for people and you never get anything for it.”I explained， “When you do something nice for someone， you shouldn’t expect to get anything. When you get something you should be very thankful.”

An old man went to live with his son, his daughter-in-law, and a four-year-old grandson. The old man’s hands trembled, his eyesight was very poor, and he couldn’t walk steadily(平稳地). The family ate together nightly at　 the dinner table. But the elderly grandfather’s shaky hands and failing sight made eating rather difficult. Rice often dropped on the floor.

The son and the daughter-in-law became angry with the old man, so they put a small table in the corner. There, the grandfather ate alone, while the rest of the family enjoyed dinner at the table. Since the grandfather had broken a dish or two, his food was served in a wooden bowl.

The four-year-old son watched it all in silence. One evening before supper, the father noticed his son playing with a piece of wood on the floor. He asked the child sweetly, “What are you making?” The boy answered, “Oh, I am making a little bowl for you and mama to eat your food from when I grow up.” The four-year-old son smiled and went back to work. The words struck the parents so that they were in silence. Then tears started to stream down their cheeks（脸颊）. Though no word was spoken, both knew what must be done. That evening the husband took grandfather’s hand and gently led him back to the family table.

1.Why was the old man’s food served in a wooden bowl?

A. Because the wooden bowl was light enough.

B. Because the old man had broken a few bowls.

D. Because the son and the daughter-in-law became angry with the old man.
