Ginseng for the Soul #13






One Burger, Two People

I once walked into a burger joint and saw an elderly couple sitting together with a single burger on a plate in front of the woman. She gingerly lifted the burger and bit into it, eating slowly and chewing thoroughly. The old man just sat and quietly watched her eat, staring longingly.

Feeling guilty, I bought an extra burger and walked over to the two. I set the burger down in front of the old man and told him that he could have it.

"Oh, no, just the one burger will be enough for both of us. I'm just waiting for her to finish using the dentures!"
