Literature: Wooden Bowls

The story of "Wooden Bowls" was very unique and therefore I liked it a lot. The moral of the story is that "you get back what you give." That is because at first the boys parents treat the old man without any respect and leave him alone in the corner. But when they realize that the boy was planning to do the same with them, their thought process completely changes because, they know that what they were doing would be given to them too some day by their child. This relates to C.A.R.E.S with empathy since the meaning of that is to put yourself into the other person's shoe, which is exactly what the parents did. In a way, I can also relate to this because I have seen this happen to some of the elders I know. But, in the end, similiar to the story, their kids have learned their lesson too.
