It was Valentine’s Day when a little old couple who looked out of place walked into McDonald’s where many young couple were eating. They walked right up to the cash register, where they placed their order with no hesitation and paid for their meal. Seated at the table near the back wall, they started taking food off the tray,which contains one hamburger,one order of French fries and one drink. Carefully,the old man cut the hamburger in half, counted out the French fries,and divided them in two poles, one share of which was neatly placed in front of his wife. He took a sip of the drink. So did his wife. As the old man about whom the crowd were curious began to eat his share, while his wife just sat there, watching him attentively, the crowd began to get restless,thinking all they could afford was just one meal for the two of them.

A young man who was cool and gentle came over to the old couple’s table and politely offered to buy another meal for them. The old man refused, saying they were used to sharing everything. Again and again the young man offered to buy,whose face went red, but he failed. As the old man finished eating and was wiping his face with a napkin, at which time the young man could stand it no longer and wondered what they shared, demanding an answer to it. The old man told him peacefully the the reason why she didn’t eat was that she was waiting for the teeth. So to the world, you may just be somebody…but to somebody, you may be the world.
