Though I've read a thousand books usually with thousand pages, but i still get attached in a short stories that can leave a mark to me. Those stories that I can't leave without sharing to anyone because it has something good from it.

One day the couple saw their son carving something out of a wood and ask him what is it' the boy replied,

"I'm making two wooden bowls for the both of you, so when you're like grandfather you'll have something to use while eating."

The couple realize that what they did was wrong, and asked for forgiveness. They let the grandfather eat with them again and the little boy saw the happiness of his grandfather.

I've read this story once when I'm having a NAT test, I remember that my friends were asking me why I'm so teary and I told them 'bout this story and I end up a little upset cause they didn't know the story and just pick random letters on their questionnaire for answering..
It's a long time since I've read this, but it really got stuck on my mind.
I don't know who made this story, but I write it the way I've remember it.
