The Man Who Needed A Ride

There were once two men. One of the men owned a car and the other did not. Each day the man without a car would ask the man with a car for a ride.

“Can I get a lift home?” the man without a car would ask.

“Sure you can my friend,” said the man with a car.

Each day the man without a car would ask the man with a car for a ride. And each day the man with a car would oblige him. Until one day.

“I give you a ride every day,” said the man with a car.

“You certainly do and I appreciate it very much,” said the man without a car.

The man without a car was not a poor man. In fact, he always carried a pocket full of money.

“Will you contribute to the gas?” asked the man with a car.

The man without a car was stunned to say the least and a bit shocked that the man with a car would ask him to contribute to gas.

“I don’t have any money,” said the man without a car.

“I think that it is only fair that you help pay for the gas since I drive you everyday,” said the man with a car.

“I never thought of that before,” said the man without a car.

The next day the man without a car took a taxi.
