"An Old Indian Woman..."




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 had been a long and quiet one, she stopped the car and asked the Navajo 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 intently at everything she saw, studying every little detail,until  she noticed a brown bag on the seat next to Sally .
  
'What in bag?' asked the old woman.
  
Sally looked  down at the brown bag and said, 'It's a bottle of wine. 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.....'

  1. That is a good one!

    Lots of husbands have been known to trade a night of drinking for an evening with their wives, and vice versa!

  3. As a side note, when I was out in New Mexico and AZ about a year and a half ago, I saw many Native American women in the market place in Sante Fe that looked just like her...

    I want to go back soon...
