A priest had to take services in several churches every Sunday, and one of the was in the center of a big city where there were lots of offices, but very few people lived, so hardly anyone ever went to this church on a Sunday. The priest used to go there in a taxi, and one Sunday he arrived as usual and told the taxi-driver to wait while he read the service. When he entered the church, he found that there was only one man there, so he inquired whether he would be willing to have a shortened service.
'No,' replied the man firmly and without any hesitation, 'I'd like to have the full service, without omitting anything.'
When the priest said the last prayer and left, he discovered that the man in the church had been his taxi-driver, whose meter had been adding up the pence throughout the service.
