The Bottle of Wine Man vs. Woman / Back Home
Thanks to Mary Lou for this one!
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 in bag?" asked the old woman.
Sally looked down at the brown bag and said, "It's a bottle
of wine. 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....."
