The old man placed order for one hamburger, French
fries and a drink.
He unwrapped the plain hamburger and carefully
cut it in half, placing one half in front of his wife.
He then
carefully counted out the French fries, dividing them into two piles and
neatly placed one pile in front of his wife
He took a sip of the
drink, his wife took a sip and then set the cup down between them . As he
began to eat his few bites of hamburger, the people around them were
looking over and whispering.
Obviously they were thinking, 'That
poor old couple - all they can afford is one meal for the two of them.'
As the man began to eat his fries a young man came to the table
and politely offered to buy another meal for the old couple. The old man
said, they were just fine - they were used to sharing everything.
People closer to the table noticed the little old lady hadn't eaten a bite. She
sat there watching her husband eat and occasionally taking turns sipping
the drink.
Again, the young man came over and begged them to let
him buy another meal for them. This time the old woman said 'No, thank
you, we are used to sharing everything.'
Finally, as the old man finished and was wiping his face neatly with the napkin, the young man
again came over to the little old lady who had yet to eat a single bite of
food and asked 'What is it you are waiting for?'
She answered..............
