The Old Man and the Nephew
It lived once an old man. He was sick and one day he couldn't hold any more the plate he was eating from. Her son advised by his wife bought him a wood plate. The old man had to eat from it.
One evening, the little nephew of the old man was trying to make a plate from a wood log. His parents asked him what is he trying to do. He answered he is preparing a wood plate for the time when they will be old. The two parents become red and took care on the old man, giving him the food from a porcelain plate, near the other member of the family.
