Flattered, the man replied, “Oh yes, I agree with you completely. This must be a sign from God!”

The woman continued, “ and look at this, here is another miracle. My car is completely destroyed but this bottle of wine doesn’t break. Surely God wants us to drink this wine and celebrate our good fortune.” Then she handed the bottle to the man.
