A Handful of dates

This is a great story about a Boy and his close and strong relationship with his grandfather.
At the very end of the story they were gathered around the date tree and were eating the freshly picked dates, The boy had been given five dates to which he did not hesitate to eat. I guess that was the first time that he had tried dates and he did not like them very much, so he ran away from the group towards the river and vomited them back up. It was like he was ashamed of doing that if front of his grandfather because he respected his grandfather so much, that he didn't want to disappoint him.
