As the man began to eat his fries a young man came over to the table and politely offered to buy another meal for the

old couple.

 

The old man said that they were just fine-they were used to sharing everything.

 

People closer to the table noticed that the little old lady hadn't eaten a bite.

Again, the young man came over to the table and begged them to let him buy another meal for them.
