d CoupLe at McDonald's
    A little old couple walked
stowly into McDonald's one card
winter evening. They looked out
of place amid the young families
and young couptes eating there
that night.
    Some of the customers
looked admiringty 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, ptaced his order
with no hesitation and then paid for their meal The couple took o table near
the back walt and started taking food off the troy. 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 pi[es
and neotly 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 rest[ess. Again you could tell what they were thinking, "That poor old
couple. At[ they con afford is one meal for the two of them."
    As the man began to eat his French fries one young man stood and come
over to the old couple's 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 shoring everything.
    Then the crowd noticed that
the LittLe old lady hadn't eaten a
bite. She just sot there watching
her husband eot and occasionaLLy
taking turns sipping the drink.
    Again the young man come
over and begged them to [et
him buy them something to eot.
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
o napkin the young man could stand it no Longer. Again he come over to their
table and offered to buy some food.
    After being poLiteLy refused again, he finaLLy asked o question of the LittLe
old lady. "Madam, why aren't you eating? You said that you share everything.
What is it that you are waiting for?"
    She answered, "The teeth."
