Fred was driving home from one of his business trips, 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 Indian got into the car.
Resuming the journey,
Fred 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 Fred.
“What in the bag?” Asked the old man.
Fred 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!”
