This is for all of us who are married, were married, wish you were
married,
or wish you weren't married. This is something to smile about the
next time
you open a box of chocolates.
Sally was driving home from one of her business trips in Northern
Arizona
when she saw an elderly Navajo woman walking on the side of the road. As
the trip was a long and quiet one, she stopped the car and asked the
Navajo woman if she would like a ride. With a silent nod of thanks, the
woman got into the car. Resuming the journey, Sally tried in vain to
make
a bit of small talk with the Navajo woman. The old woman just sat
silently, looking intently at everything she saw, studying every little
detail until she noticed a white bag on the seat next to Sally.
"What in bag?" asked the old woman.
Sally looked down at the white bag and said, "It's a box of
chocolates. I
got it for my husband."
The Navajo woman was silent for another moment or two. Then speaking
with the quiet wisdom
of an elder, she said: "Good trade."
