Tom was driving home from a business trip in Northern Arizona
when he saw an elderly Navajo man walking on the side of the road.
As the trip was a long and quiet one, he stopped the car and asked
the Navajo man if he would like a ride.
With a silent nod of thanks, the man got into the car.
Resuming the journey, Tom tried in vain to make a bit of small talk
with the Navajo 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 Tom.
'What in bag?' asked the old man.
Tom looked down at the brown bag and said, 'It's 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.....'
