a good trade

[Brandon Hunt]

THE BOX OF CHOCOLATES

For all of you who are married, were married,
wish you were married...or not...

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 at everything she saw, studying every little
detail in the car, 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 that I got for my husband." The Navajo woman was
silent for another moment or two. Then speaking with the quiet
wisdom of an elder, said...

"Good trade."
