There lived a
very rich doctor in a certain town. He led a princely life, but he did not
tread his aged father well. With treambling hands, he ate his food at the
dining table. But he spilled it on the table cloth and often broke the plate of
soup placed before him. This made the doctor very angry and he asked his wife
to seat him separately in a corner of his room and to serve him his meal in an
eathen plate. And when many such plates were broken by the old man, he began to
get his meal in a wooden plate. One day he saw his grandson fitting together
some pieces of wood. “What are you making, my boy?” said he. “A wooden plate to
be used by my father and mother in their old age” replied the little clever
boy. These words were overheard by the doctor sitting in the sun. He got a
glimpse of his future at the hands of his son and began to treat his father
with gread recpect.
