End of Ramadan

On Regent St. an Asian guy waved at me saying something. I got closer. "How is your business?" "Ups and downs." "I'm a rickshaw rider too." - he explained - "For me it was very quiet today." I looked at him and asked: "Aren't you a Muslim?" His answer was quick: "I am a Muslim!" "Then why have you been working?" -I asked - "It's the end of Ramadan today!" For a little while he seemed to be pretty perplexed, then he laughed: "I know boss, but I need money!" He looked at me: "Are you a Muslim?" "No I'm not. But I need money too." We laughed and I drove off.
