Tales of Two Cities (Part 20)

Ain't It The Truth!
===============


A man asked to speak with the pastor's wife, a woman well known for her charitable impulse.

"Madam," he said in a broken voice, "I wish to draw your attention to the terrible plight of a poor family. The father is dead, the mother is too ill to work, and their children are starving. They're about to be evicted unless someone pays their $800 rent."

"How terrible!" said the preacher's wife. "May I ask who you are?"

The visitor dabbed his eyes with his handkerchief and sobbed, "I'm the landlord!"
