Two stories about boys. One will not chop wood for his mother but when he hears his father coming home, he chops the wood very fast and gets it to his mother before his father gets in. In the other story a boy is taught to say "Good morning grandfather/grandmother" to elderly people. One day he says it to someone who, as it turns out, was not elderly but just looked old. She beat him over the head.
