Summary- This book is about a very old poor couple who has hardly anything in life. All their children are grown and they share a patched up old jacket, one bed sheet that is extremely ragged, one chair to sit it, one candle (no electricity) to last them all winter, one gold coin and one potato a day for the two of them and is served for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
