The little old couple walked slowly into the restarurant that cold winter

evening. They looked out of place amid the young families and young couples

eating there that night. Some of the customers lookedadmiringly at them.

You could tell what the admirers were thinking. "Look, thereis a couple who

has been through a lot together, probably for 60 years ormore!" The little

old man walked right up to the cash register, placed hisorder with no

hesitation and then paid for their meal. The couple took atable near the

back wall and started taking food off of the tray. There wasone sandwich,

one order of french fries and one drink. The little old man unwrapped the

sandwich and carefully cut it in half. He placedone half in front of

his wife. Then he carefully counted out the frenchfries, divided them in

two piles and neatly placed one pile in front of hiswife. He took a sip of

the drink, his wife took a sip and then set the cupdown between them. As the

man began to eat his few bites of sandwich thecrowd began to get restless.

Again you could tell what 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

french fries one young man stood and came overto the the old couples table.

He politely offered to buy another meal forthe old couple to eat. The old

man replied that they were just fine. They were used to sharing everything.

Then the crowd noticed that the littleold lady hadn't eaten a bite. She just

sat there watching her husband eatand occasionally taking turns sipping the

drink. Again the young man came over and begged them to let him buy them

something to eat. This timethe 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 a napkin the young man could stand it

no longer. Again he came over to their table and offered to buy some food.

After being politely refused again he finally asked a question of the little

oldlady. "Maam, why aren't you eating. You said that you share everything.

Whatis it that you are waiting for?" She answered, "the teeth". _______
