A
salesman is driving toward home in Northern Arizona
when he sees a Navajo man hitchhiking. Because the trip
had been long and quiet, he stops the car and the Navajo
man climbs in.
During their small talk, the Navajo man glances surreptitiously
at a brown bag on the front seat between them.
"If youre wondering whats in the bag,"
offers the salesman, "its a bottle of wine.
I got it for my wife."
The Navajo man is silent for awhile, nods several
times and says, "Good trade."
