about 40 years ago there was a Yeshiva buer that was taking a ride in the back of a taxi he was actually learning and unfortunately because he got so involved in his learning he stepped out of the taxi without paying it was a legitimate mistake he thought he took a ride he hitched the ride he forgot it was a paid taxi the dri was entirely irreligious he looked in the rearview mirror and he realized the Yeshiva kid made an innocent mistake M he didn't mean to do it but he was involved in his studies he stepped out and the driver went on irreligious completely not when he pulled away the the kid said to himself what did I do I forgot to pay I was engrossed in the sug I forgot to pay he chased after the driver blocks and blocks he finally caught up with him he knocks on the window the fellow opens it up as I told you already twice totally irreligious and he says to the kid m he says yeah I forgot to pay as per what we said the last eight minutes how do you not create admas Kesh how do you not make it a base madress so he paid fast forward 40 years a few years ago this kid is now a 55-year-old babos he's walking in Yim and he sees the announcements there's going to be a Shear that evening on his favorite topic lucky guest KES Hashem he goes to the shear that evening he was the B now he's a 55y old man he's enamored with the marus afterwards he goes over to the r and he says R you gave a Shear on my favorite topic I loved it I loved it but I have one problem with your Shear you said that if somebody does Anem they'll always see the payce the fruits of their labor well I got to tell you and he quickly recounted mamish in 30 seconds to the RV the story that I just told you he said 40 years ago I was a Yeshiva this is what the 55y old man is saying at one time I took a ride in a taxi the driver was entirely not totally religious like God out I made a mistake I didn't go ahead and pay I realized I mistake I chased him I went ahead and I paid he said M PO he seemed to be impressed but you R claim that you always see the pay rice of your kides hasem where are my pay and with tears in his eyes the RV turned to the 55-year-old balos and said these words and I quote bu an I am that driver I was that driver 40 years ago I wasn't that I was totally not religious I was so blown away by your kidish hasem it was so life transforming for me bua an I am your payro I am that driver and look what became of me and it was solely because of the Kish asem that you made 40 years ago on that day I am your pay
