The 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 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, until she noticed a white bag on the seat
next to Sally. 

"What's in the bag?" asked the old woman. 

Sally looked down at the bag and, smiling, 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."
