Summary: Young Johnny eagerly anticipates a feast prepared by Grandma, but tradition dictates elders eat first. As he waits, his hunger grows, and he worries the food will run out. Through Grandma's gentle guidance, Johnny learns the value of patience and respect. When her friend Katherine arrives late, Johnny's newfound understanding is put to the test. Will there be enough for everyone, and can Johnny's patience hold out? Discover how gratitude and respect earn him a place at the table, with plenty to eat, eat, eat.
