TRAIL WISDOM
A lone cowboy had been riding the trail in New Mexico for several days as he worked his way back to his ranch when he comes upon an old Navaho man heading the same direction. Because the ride had been long and quiet he asks if he might ride along with him for a spell. The old Navaho agrees and they travel along together until nightfall. That evening they made camp and as they sat near the fire they began some small talk. The cowboy notices the old Navaho glancing over towards a bottle sticking out of one of the saddlebags lying beside him.
“If your wondering what’s in the saddle bag” offers the cowboy, “It’s a bottle of wine. I got it for my woman”
The old Indian sits silently for a time pondering what the cowboy had just said.
He soon turns towards the cowboy and nods his head in approval.
“Good trade” he says.
