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 bottle of wine.
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 brown bag on the seat next to Sally.
"What's in the bag?" asked the
old woman.
Sally looked down at the brown bag and said, "It's a bottle
of wine. 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."
