Good Trade

[FranEMTnurse, CNA, LPN, EMT-I]

Sally was driving home from one of her

business trips in Northern Arizona when she saw

an elderly Navajo woman walking on the side of

the road. As the trip was a long and quiet one,

she stopped the car and asked the Navajo woman if

she would like a ride. After a bit of small

talk, the Navajo woman noticed a brown bag on the

seat next to Sally. "What's in the bag?" asked

the woman. Sally looked down at the brown bag and

said, "It's a bottle of wine. I got it for my

husband."

The Navajo woman was silent for a moment then

speaking with the quiet wisdom of an elder

said, "Good trade."
