A young couple were having a romantic dinner at an expensive restaurant. They saw an old lady sitting alone, looking at them. They smiled politely, but were a little surprised when the old lady came over to their table. The old lady told the young woman that she looked just like her daughter who she said had died a year ago. She said it would make her very happy if they said, "Goodbye, Mum' when she left the restaurant. How could they refuse? A few minutes later, the old lady stood up to leave. The two diners waved, as she had asked them, and said goodbye as the old lady walked out. When the couple received their bill, however, they saw that it included the cost of the old lady's meal. They called over the manager and asked him what had happened. "The bill includes the charge for your mother's meal," he explained. "She said you would pay."
