An 86-year-old grandfather was in the hospital with an illness. Near the unit where the elderly man was being treated, there was a maternity ward and Mr. Ed often saw babies being discharged from the hospital.
So the idea came to him to do something useful for newborns. Ed decided to learn to knit to make hats for babies.
But he needed someone who could teach him this trade. Fortunately, grandpa’s daughter knew how to knit and it turned out that Ed was a good learner and he quickly learned to knit.
The kind grandfather began to knit hats of different colors for the babies in the maternity ward. For the first hat, he worked almost three hours but then knitting a hat took him a short time.
Gradually, Ed developed his job and began to send his multicolored hats to the maternity ward.
But that was not all. The man formed a group of retirees like him who knew how to knit and they, too, began to weave hats for the sweet babies.
The parents of the babies were very grateful for this gesture of generosity and love. Already, Ed was able to knit 30 hats a day and he decided not to give up.
