Wooden Bowl response =(

This short story was about an old grandfather who was very clumsy. He always made a mess when he ate with the family. After a while the husband and wife got tired of him ruining things so they gave him a small table in a corner and give him a wooden bowl to eat in. The child of the couple took this example and started making a wooden bowl for his parents for when he grew up, just like what the parents did to the grandfather. This sad story is related to empathy in C.A.R.E.S. The couple thought the grandfather was annoying because he spilled everything over the table so they isolated him. This actually shows a lack of empathy. The couldn't stand that he was spilling but didn't realize that he wasn't doing it on purpose. Frankly, they were just treating him rottenly. The granddson though just followed the parents example and did the same thing to his parents, he made wooden bowls for them too. This sparked the empathy in the couple and they both finally realized that they were treating the grandfather so badly. This act showed them to treat others the way you want to be treated, the golden rule Without the son they would have never realized that they were treating him so badly.
