A young child once observed his father throw his grandfather out of the house because the grandfather
was unable to keep himself and his surroundings clean. Shaken as the child was, he could not deny the cruelty he had
witnessed. Later, he met his grandfather wandering on the street. The grandfather asked the child to bring him a coat, so
that at least he could avoid freezing in his homeless state. The child returned to his father and asked him if he could have
a coat for the grandfather.
"Go up to the attic" said the father. "There's an old coat up there that he can have. When the child
returned from the attic, he was holding half of a coat. "What happened to the coat?" the father asked. "Why has it been cut?"
"I did it for you" said the child, "so that when you grow old, you can have the other half."
