An old rabbi is talking with one of his friends and says with a warm smile, „I gladdened seven hearts today.”

„Seven hearts?” asks the friend. „How did you do that?”

The rabbi strokes his beard and replies, „I performed three marriages.”

The friend looks at him quizzically. „Seven?” he asks. „I could understand six, but…”

„Well, I ask you,” says the rabbi, „do you think that I do this for free?”
