Grandad and the Laundry Basket

Grandad is coming to stay. But he takes up too much room and drops things on the floor. If he behaves like a dog he should be treated like a dog. The parents hatch a terrifying plan. Grandad has got to go.

Originally from India this moving tale holds a mirror up to our modern society and treatment of our seniors. The cruelty to the old man often has children aghast, and like the boy, they find themselves powerless in the face of such injustice. The Story Spinner has added the epilogue to show that there are no goodies or baddies here only people under pressure that can redeem themselves.
