>A little old couple walked slowly into McDonald's one cold winter

>couples eating there that night.
>Some of the customers looked admiringly at them. You could tell what the 
>admirers were thinking.
>"Look, there is a couple who has been through a lot together, probably for 
>60 years or more!"

>The little old man walked right up to the cash register, placed his
>order with no hesitation and then paid for their meal. The couple took a 
>table near the back wall and started taking food off of the tray.
>There was one hamburger, one order of French fries and one drink.
>
>The little old man unwrapped the plain hamburger and carefully cut it in 
>half. He placed one half in front of his wife. Then he carefully counted 
>out the French  fries, divided them in 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 the man began to eat his few bites of hamburger the crowd 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 over 
>to the old couples' table.
>
>He politely offered to buy another meal for the 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 little old lady hadn't eaten a bite.
>
>She just 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 them something to eat. This time the 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 old lady. 
>"Ma'am, why aren't you eating. You said that you share everything.
>What is it that you are waiting for?"
>She answered...
