WORKSHEET No. 1
Patterns of Paragraph Development: Narration

Activity 1
Read carefully the narrative passage. Answer the questions on your answer
sheet.

The Wooden Bowl by Ramona Moreno Winner

A frail old man went to live with his son, daughter-in-law, and a four-
year old grandson. The old man’s hands trembled, his eyesight was blurred,
and his step faltered. The family ate together nightly at the dinner table.
But the elderly grandfather’s shaky hands and failing sight made eating
rather difficult. Peas rolled off his spoon onto the floor. When he grasped the
glass often milk spilled on the tablecloth.
The son and daughter-in-law became irritated with the mess. “We must
do something about grandfather,” said the son. I’ve had enough of his spilled
milk, noisy eating, and food on the floor.
So, the husband and the wife set a small table in the corner. There,
grandfather ate alone while the rest of the family enjoyed dinner at the dinner
table.
Since grandfather had broken a dish or two, his food was served in a
wooden bowl. Sometimes when the family glanced in grandfather’s direction, he
had a tear in his eyes as he ate alone.
Still, the only words the couple had for him were sharp admonitions
when he dropped a fork or spilled food. The four-year- old watched it all in
silence. One evening before supper, the father noticed his son playing with
wood scraps on the floor. He asked the child sweetly, “What are you making?”
Just as sweetly, the boy responded, “Oh, I am making a little bowl for you and
mama to eat your food when I grow up.” The four-year-old smiled and went
back to work.
The words so struck the parents that they were speechless. Then tears
started to stream down their cheeks. Though no words were spoken, both
knew what must be done.

That evening the husband took the grandfather’s hand and gently led
him back to the family table. For the remainder of his days he ate every meal
with the family. And for some reason, neither husband nor wife seemed to care
any longer when a fork was dropped, milk spilled, or the tablecloth soiled.
