Lit Wooden Bowls

The story "Wooden Bowls" is extremely touching and teaches an amazing life lesson. This taught me to always be there for your loved ones, whatever the situation may be. Never ignore or neglect your family or friends, especially when they are in need of help. This greatly applies to elderly family members. This is because you should always to your very best to make their lives the best they can possibly be because you never know when their last day will come. I can relate to this story because I had a family member who had recently passes away and i regret not spending more time with him and i wish that i made an effort to see him more often.
When connected to C.A.R.E.S, I would label "Wooden Bowls" as cooperation, self-control and empathy. I think that it connects to cooperation because in order to live a happy life, you have to be able to cooperate with people. In this story, the son and the daughter-in-law of the grandfather had to cooperate with him and help him out when he ate dinner. They also had to use self-control and not get all worked up, and yell at the old man when he spilt milk or dropped a plate or fork. As they say, don't cry over spilt milk. "Wooden Bowls" also connects to empathy because before you judge someone, you should always put yourself in their shoes and walk a mile. In the story, the parents soon realized what they were doing to the old man and how they were treating him and thought about how they would someday be old and frail and would hate to be treated like that.
