THE BOX OF CHOCOLATES
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."
