"A Worn Path"

An older black lady, not in the best shape walks through her down on Christmas to get her grandson medicine. After getting her grandson his medicine in which she didnt pay for she collects a total of 10 cents on her way back. She decides to buy her grandson a paper windmill with that money. i feel that the major moral of this story is that the grandmother put her grandson before herself. She showed her care and concern for him. Even though she got the medicine for free and then found the 10 cents she still decided to buy something for him other than herself. Usually when something is old it is considered worn, which symbolically makes a relation to the grandmother and the title of the story.
