One morning Mrs. Black broke a plate. It made her daughter angry. She told James to buy a wooden  plate for his grandma. That afternoon James came back with two wooden plates. She was surprised and asked, "Why did you buy two plates, son ""One is for grandma," answered the boy, "the other is for you! You will also have to use a wooden plate when you're old, I think."
