An old lady lets herself go with the stories of a sprightly old man, sitting next to her. But when she reveals that she is married, he waves her confused and goes away. The gentle goodbye she returns back reveals who is she actually married to.
Un’anziana signora si lascia coinvolgere dai racconti di un arzillo vecchietto, sedutole accanto per far colpo su di lei. Quando però la donna gli rivela di essere sposata, lui la saluta confuso e si allontana. Il delicato saluto con cui lei ricambia rivela che sia sposata proprio con quell’uomo.
