"Wooden Bowls" - Literature

This is a very touching and inspiring story. It connects to empathy in C.A.R.E.S because the son and daughter in law just thought the old man was stupid for dropping food and spilling milk. They didn't put themselves in his shoes, and about how they would be in about 20 years. For all they know, they could be completley blind and their son and his wife would have to take care of them. This teaches us to put yourself in the person's shoes that you are about to say something mean to.
