(A)

A little old couple walked slowly into McDonald’s one cold winter evening. They took a table

near the back wall, and then the little old man walked to the cash register (收银台) to order.

After a short while he got the food back and they began to unwrap it.

There was one hamburger, one order of French fries and one drink. The little old man carefully

cut the hamburger in half and divided the French fries in two piles. Then he neatly placed the

half of the food in front of his wife.

He took a sip (啜) of the drink and his wife took a sip. “What a poor old couple!” The crowd

thought.

As the man began to eat his hamburger and his French fries, his wife sat there watching him and

took turns to drink. A young man came over to the old couple. He offered to buy another meal for

them. But they refused politely and said that they got used to sharing everything.
