Tom likes chocolates very much, but his mother never gives him any, because they are bad for his teeth, she thinks. But Tom has a very nice grandpa. The old man loves his grandson very much，and sometimes he brings Tom chocolates when he come to visit him.
Then his mother lets him eat them, because she wants to make the old man happy.
One evening, a few days before Tom’s seventh birthday, he was saying his prayers in his bedroom before he went to bed. “Please，God”，he shouted，“make them give me a big box of chocolate for my birthday on Saturday.”
His mother was in the kitchen but she heard the small boy shouting and went into his room quickly. “Why are you shouting，Tom？”she asked her son，“God can hear you when you talk quietly.”
“I know，”answered the little boy with a smile，“but grandfather is in the next room，and he can’t.”
