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 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....
"THE TEETH."
