Sorry, Alec, but that's way too far. The subject's motivation is not necessarily involved in the speaker's sentences.
In both cases the grandfather gave his grandchildren toys on a regular basis, but the conjugation difference is only marked by how the speaker situates him/herself about that time past, not the reasons he had to do that.
