The famous elder, Archimandrite Paul (Gruzdev) told the following story about himself. Once he, already old and half-blind, went into a big city. Together with one metropolitan he served there service. 

The Metropolitan gave Father Paul money for the return journey, and they parted. There was time before the train arrival, and father Pavel decided to have lunch. 
He comes in a cafe, and the girl behind the counter says to him: 
"And you, grandfather, better leave, you are poorly dressed."
And looking at his legs. Father Paul had felt boots on his feet, when he was leaving his village, there were frosts, and he came to the city, there was a thaw, and puddles of mud fell from the felt boots to the floor. The priest's coat is also old, worn out, and the suitcase in hand is worn, with priestly vestments inside. The girl apparently decided that this is some kind of beggar. So father Paul left.
He came to another cafe, more like a cafeteria, and he was told: “We have a variety of food here!” “Well,” Father Paul answers, “this is good.” He put his small briefcase under the table, took a tray and got a set meal for himself with compote. He put his lunch on the table, just before he was going to eat he realized that he forgot a spoon and a fork! He went for a spoon and fork, comes back and saw a man sitting at his table eating his first meal. So much for lunch. Father Paul sat down opposite of the man  and without a word began to eat his second meal. He ate the second, wrapped the bread and put it in his pockets, and the compote was equally divided with the man.
Then the man got up and went to the exit. Father Paul glanced casually underneath the table and saw his briefcase was not there! That greedy man stole it. He ate half of his lunch, and he also took the briefcase. Father Paul got up from the table, ran after the thief, suddenly looking he saw his briefcase. Only at another table. And the lunch plate was untouched. He got the tables mixed up !!! Father Paul's head started to ache thinking what a humble man he was. He didn’t say a word when father Paul ate half of his lunch.
