Clotilde was driving home from one of her trips to New Orleans, passing through Cajun country. She saw Marie walking on the side of the road. She stopped the car and asked Marie if she would like a ride. Resuming the journey, Clotilde made a bit of small talk with Marie. Marie just sat silently, looking intently at everything she saw, studying every little detail, until she noticed a brown bag on the seat next to Clotilde.
"What's in the bag?" asked Marie.
Clotilde looked down at the brown bag and said, "It's a bottle of wine. I got it for my husband."
Marie was silent for another moment or two. Then speaking with the quiet wisdom of an elder, she said, "Good trade....."
