A little old couple walked slowly into McDonalds one cold

winter evening. They looked out of place amid the young families and

young couples eating there that night. Some of the customers looked

admiringly at them. You could tell what the admirers were thinking.

"Look, there is a couple who has been through a lot together,

probably for 60 years or more!"



The little old man walked right up to the cash register, placed his

order with no hesitation and then paid for their meal.

The couple took a table near the back wall and started taking

food off of the tray. There was one hamburger, one order of French

fries and one drink. The little old man unwrapped the plain hamburger

and carefully cut it in half. He placed one half in front of his wife.



Then he carefully counted out ! the French fries, divided them in 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 the man began to eat his few bites of hamburger the crowd began to get

restless. Again you could tell what 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 French fries one young man stood and came over to the old couples'

table. He politely offered to buy another meal for the old couple to eat.



The old man replied that they were just fine. They were used to

sharing everything. Then the crowd noticed that the little old lady hadn't

eaten a bite.

She just 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 them something to eat. This time the lady explained

that no, they were used to sharing everything together. As the little old
man

finished eating and was wiping his face neatly with a napkin the young

man could stand it no longer.



Again he came over to their table and offered to buy some

food. After being politely refused again he finally asked a question of

the little old lady.

"Ma'am, why aren't you eating. You said that you share

everything. What is it that you are waiting for?" She answered...
