An old woman asked Joe Trainor for a lift from Nyegina
Parish to Musoma Town, eight miles away. Joe explained that he wasn’t leaving
for two hours, but if she was still walking on the road later in the day he
would help her. When he finally set out, his Volkswagen Combi was packed. Along
the road he passed the old woman who gestured vigorously for Joe to stop. Filled
with guilt, Joe jumped out of the cab and forcefully told the woman: "If you can
find a place in this packed car you can get a ride." She slowly circled around
the Combi and saw a passenger sitting in every available seat. When she came to
the driver’s place she said, "Look, Padre, here’s a free seat. I’ll sit here."
