Three Customers

A taxi driver was driving in __ (an area's name) when he saw three girls standing by the road with their hands raised. Customers! The taxi driver thought, and stopped his car to pick them up.

"Where are you off to?" The taxi driver asked, and they answered that one of the girls had a stomach ache and wanted to be taken to the hospital. The taxi driver glanced at the girl in question and noted that the girl certainly looked very pale and seemed to be in great pain.

It was an emergency for sure, and he decided to take them to the T__ hospital, the closest from where they were and also the most famous hospital in the area.

When they arrived at the hospital the girls told him, "We would like to stay with her (i.e. the girl with stomach ache) so if you don't mind, could you please go inside and get someone?"

The taxi driver agreed to their request and went to the hospital's front desk. There he told the nurse what had happened and asked her if she could go have a look at the patient in the car. The nurse said OK and went to the car park, leaving the taxi driver at the front desk.

... Some minutes later the nurse came back to the front desk, ashen-faced. "What did you do that for?!" She asked.

The taxi driver had no idea what she meant. 'Why did you do it?!' said the nurse again.

"Why do you have dead bodies in your car?!!"

According to the nurse, a few days ago some college girls met an accident while driving in the area. They were brought to the hospital but in spite of all efforts to save them, they all passed away. And their bodies had been placed in the mortuary.

But the bodies in the taxi and the bodies of the college girls were unmistakably one and the same. "What were you trying to do by stealing the bodies from our hospital?" The nurse pressed him for an answer; but when the taxi driver picked the girls up, they appeared to be nothing but alive.

Needless to say, the place where the taxi driver picked up the girls was the same place where the girls had the accident....

I wonder what these girls wanted to do?
