When he sat down, he discovered that the driver had mistakenly given him his balance in excess of 50 naira. As he considered what to do, he thought within him, 'You'd better give this money back.

Accept it as 'a gift from God' and keep quiet. When he was getting down from the bus, he paused momentarily at the door, and then handed the 50 naira to the driver and said, 'Take; the balance you gave me was over'. The driver, with a smile, replied,' 'Aren't you the new preacher in town?' 'Yes I am' he r
