A cab driver in Athens picked up a young woman from the airport who had arrived from abroad.
She was a cultured woman, and he took her to her house in Kallithea.
Kallithea.
During the ride, they talked and the driver told me (Fr.
Nikon) that she was indeed a noble young woman.
They arrived at their destination, She looked at the taximeter,
at the amount she had to pay, she opened up
her wallet to hand over the money,
but didn't have time: "Excuse me, I'll be right back," she said to the
to the driver.
She got out of the cab and went into the house.
The driver waited and waited, but time was running out.
What happened, thought the driver, had she forgotten?
And so he knocked on the door of the house the girl had entered.
A woman in black clothes opened the door: "Excuse me, I only need
money and I'll leave," the driver told her.
"What money," she replied, "For the cab fare."
- said the man.
The woman saw the cab car and asked, "For the fare
cab fare?".
"For your daughter, I just brought her from the airport."
- said the man.
The woman looked at him, "Who did you bring from the airport?"
"Your daughter who just arrived."
Hearing this, the woman cried out and with tears in her eyes turned
back and entered the house.
The cab driver was caught off guard and thought that the
The woman had mental problems.

from the airport," he replied.

The critical mind must be working all the time.

All the rest of us let our minds work.
Why should I put up with it?
