Barnyard and the bottle of wine
Posted: Thu Mar 10, 2011 6:23 pm
Barnyard was driving home from one of his business trips, out west in
Arizona , when he saw an elderly Navajo man walking on the side of the road.
Realizing the trip was going to be a long and quiet one, he stopped the
car and asked the old man if he would like a ride.
With a silent nod of thanks, the old man got into the car.
Resuming the journey, Barnyard tried - in vain - to make a bit of small
talk with the old man. The old man just sat silently, looking
intently at everything he saw, studying every little detail, until
he noticed a brown bag on the seat next to Barnyard.
"What in bag?" asked the old man.
Barnyard looked down at the brown bag and said: "It's a bottle of
wine. I got it for my wife."
The Navajo man was silent for another moment or two. Then, speaking
with the quiet wisdom of an elder, he said:
"Good trade . . .."
