Wisdom of the Navajo


PhilAnders

Recommended Posts

I was driving home from one of my business trips in Northern

Arizona when I saw an elderly Navajo man walking on the side of the road.

As it was a bloody hot day, I stopped the car and

asked the Navajo man if he would like a ride. With a silent nod of thanks, he got into the car.

 

The old man just sat silently, looking

intently at everything he saw, studying every little detail, until he noticed a white bag on the seat next to me.

 

"What in bag?" asked the old man.

 

I looked down at the white bag and said,

 

"It's a box of chocolates.

 

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."

There's a Clinton version of that, circulated widely when he was president.

 

Clinton steps out of Air Force One with a piglet under each arm.

 

"Those are very nice pigs, Sir," says the young Marine guard.

 

"PIGS, son, why those will grow up to be genuine Arkansas razorback hogs!" answers Clinton. "I got one for Hilary and one for Chelsea."

 

"Oh, that was a very good trade, Sir," says the Marine.
