HOW MANY LICKS DOES IT TAKE TO GET TO THE END OF A POPSICLE
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 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 kept looking over and whispering. You could tell
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. He politely 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
