He ordered one hamburger, one order of french
fries and one drink.
The old man unwrapped the plain hamburger and
carefully cut it in half. He placed one half in
front of his
wife. He then carefully counted out the french

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,

people around them kept looking over and
whispering.

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. He polit ely offered to buy another
meal
for the old couple. The old man said they were
just
fine - They were used to sharing everything.
The surrounding people 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."
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....
