.In a quaint little country town a newly wed couple ran a thriving tea room. Every day without fail an elderly couple who were totally devoted to each other arrived for breakfast. Every day it was the same thing, they bought something to eat and then shared it. When the newly weds asked about it, the elderly couple just smiled saying; " Since we met over sixty years ago, we have shared everything." The newly weds would marvel at how the elderly woman would sit and watch her husband eat. Later on they could see how the husband would do the same. Then one day the the elderly couple came in and ordered a cheese burger and chips. The elderly man cut the cheese burger in half and after he divided the chips evenly he started to start eat. The elderly woman just sat smiling and watched her husband as he ate. The young newly wed couldn't quite understand and said to her; " I know you said that you shared everything but why are you not eating your food before it gets cold? " She smiled softly and said; " I'm waiting until he is finished with the teeth.
