A travel agent was sitting at his desk when he noticed an elderly couple standing outside, gazing longingly at the posters of dream vacations in the shop window.
They looked sweet, and honestly, a little heartbroken. The agent had just had a great week in business, so he felt a wave of kindness wash over him.
He rushed outside, brought them in, and said, “Listen, I know travel isn’t easy on a pension, but I want to treat you both to a luxury vacation, my treat. No strings attached. Just say yes.”
Shocked but thrilled, the couple accepted. The agent had his assistant book two plane tickets and a room at a beautiful five-star resort.
About a month later, the little old lady came back into the shop, smiling.
“How was the trip?” the agent asked.
“Oh, it was just lovely! The flight was wonderful, and the hotel was like something out of a dream,” she said. “I came to say thank you … but I do have one question.”
The agent raised an eyebrow. “Sure, what is it?”
She leaned in and whispered, “Who was that old man I had to share the room with?”
