An old man lived with his son，his daughter-in-law，and a four-year-old grandson. The old man's hands trembled，his eyesight was very poor，and he couldn't walk steadily（平稳地）. The family ate together nightly at the dinner table. But the elderly grandfather's shaky hands and failing sight made eating rather difficult. Rice often dropped on the floor.
The son and the daughter-in-law became angry with [7] the old man, so they put a small table in the corner. There, the grandfather ate alone, while the rest of the family enjoyed dinner at the table. Since the grandfather had broken a dish or two, his food was served in a wooden bowl.
The four-year-old son watched it all in silence. One evening before supper，the father noticed his son playing with a piece of wood on the floor. He asked the child sweetly，“What are you making？” The boy answered，“Oh，I am making a little bowl for you and mama to eat your food from when I grow up [8] .” The four-year-old son smiled and went back to work. The words struck the parents so that they were in silence. Then tears started to stream down their cheeks（脸颊）. Though no word was spoken，both knew what should be done. That evening the father took grandfather's hand and gently led him back to the family table.
( ) Why was the old man's food served in a wooden bowl?
A. Because the wooden bowl was light enough.
B. Because the old man had broken a few bowls.
C. Because there was only a wooden bowl left.
D. Because the son and the daughter-in-law became angry with the old man.
文章讲述的是：年迈的爷爷吃饭时经常将饭洒到地上，儿子和儿媳很生气，在角落里给他放了一张吃饭的小桌子，爷爷还打碎过盘子，他们便让爷爷用木碗吃饭。四岁的孙子也要为自己的父母做木碗，说等他长大了，就给他们用木碗吃饭。儿子和儿媳这才意识到了自己的错误，晚上将爷爷扶到餐桌旁与家人共进晚餐。
本题根据第二段最后一句可知，因为爷爷打碎过几个碗碟，所以儿子和儿媳让他用木碗吃饭。故答案为B。
