Question

    It was a Sunday evening. There was a nice restaurant at the end of King Street.While many people were talking politely and enjoying their dinner, a well­dressed young man came in, along with a very old man who was clearly his father. The father was so weak that he dropped food on his clean shirt and trousers while eating. It seemed that he wasn't strong enough to use chopsticks well. You could even see some soup on his beard. Other guests watched him in disgust(厌恶), while his son, who just smiled and watched his father eating, was calm and patient.

After he finished eating, his son quietly took him to the washroom, cleaned up the food, tidied his clothes up, fitted his glasses well and washed his hands. When they came out, the guests in therestaurant were watching them in dead silence. They felt embarrassed (尴尬的). The son paid the bill and started walking out with his father.

At that time, an old man could not help standing up and asked him，“Don't you think you have left something behind？”The son replied，“No, sir, I haven't.”

The old man argued, “Yes, you have! You haveleft a lesson for every son and hope for every father！”
