One calamity fixed. So we set back and began to enjoy the rest of our
lunch together. 

I couldn't help but snicker and she said, “And what are you snickering
about?” 

Then we both began laughing together. There is no sense in trying to
grouch your way through a situation like this. There was a problem, the 
problem was fixed, now we could enjoy lunch together. 

If I thought that was the end of our fun, I was to be surprised. 

I mentioned to her several times how her hamburger was, and she just
looked at me and smiled and I had to smile right back at her. Usually, 
I'm the one that gets the bloody hamburger. I like mine well done and 
there are times when it is not well done. This time the joke was on 
her. 

We finished our hamburgers, I was eating my French fries and she was
nibbling at her vegetables. I think a French fry is a vegetable, but 
I'm not going to contest it. 

Then I heard her scream, “What's that?” 

Everybody in the restaurant heard her and was looking at me as though I
was the culprit. When I got over her scream, I asked her what in the 
world was wrong. 

“Look at that,” she stated. 

I looked at her vegetables, which is something I don't like to do, and
then I saw it. It was one of those little things with legs that creep 
around. Yes, there was a bug in her vegetables. 

How do you keep from laughing at something like that? 

The waitress came and was duly upset and finally said, “I don't know how
that happened. Please forgive us; your lunch is on us.” 

Solomon had it right when he said, “He that handleth a matter wisely
shall find good: and whoso trusteth in the Lord, happy is he” (Proverbs 
16:20). 

Sometimes God allows things to happen to see if we really have joy in
our hearts. I must confess that at this luncheon I did have joy in my 
heart.
