“Take me to the airport,” John says to the taxi driver.
The driver says nothing and starts the engine. John is busy taking calls, making notes and reading reports. He is going away on business and he has to be prepared.
The taxi stops and the driver opens the door for John. John steps out but he realizes that he is at the wrong place.
“This is not the airport,” John says and wants to sit back into the taxi but the driver closes the door. He gives John a business card. The driver sits back into the car. He drives away.
“Well, at least he didn’t ask for money,” John says to himself.
He looks at his watch. He can get to the airport in time. Just then a taxi stops on the other side of the road and a beautiful woman gets out. She is crossing the road when John notices a bus is coming fast towards her. The bus is going to hit the woman. John runs to the woman and pushes her out of the way. He saves her life. She is very happy and they talk for ten minutes. She writes her phone number on a piece of paper and gives it to John. They agree to meet. John puts the paper into his pocket and he finds the business card from the taxi driver. He reads it now: ‘We take you where you need to be, not where you want to go.’
