The family were     every night at the dinner table. But the elderly grandfather’s shaky hands and      sight made this rather difficult. Peas rolled off his spoon onto the floor. When he grasped the glass,        would often spill（洒落）onto the tablecloth. “We must do something about grandfather,” said the husband.
So the husband and wife set a small table in the corner. There, grandfather ate     in the corner while the rest of the family enjoyed dinner at the dinner table.        grandfather had already broken a dish or two, his food was served in a     bowl. Sometimes, when the family       grandfather, he had a tear in his eye as he ate alone.       , the only words the couple had for him were sharp     when he dropped a fork or spilled food. The 4-year-old boy watched all this       .
One evening before supper, the father       his son playing with wood scraps（小块）on the floor. He asked the child sweetly: “What are you making?” Just as       , the boy answered: “Oh, I am making a little     for you and mama to eat your food from when I grow up.” The 4-year-old boy smiled and went back to       on it.
The words     the parents so much that they were     . Then tears started to stream down their cheeks.         no word was spoken, both knew what they had to do. That evening, the husband took grandfather’s hand and       led him back to the family table.
