Peace be with you!
One day they took the train from Slough to Hayes. The little one was in his pram while Peter and the missus took their seats. The first few minutes was pretty normal. Peter had long forgotten the habit of falling asleep in trains, thanks to an earlier incident.
After may be five or six minutes, a young lady turned around to look at Peter and she smiled.
'Weird', Peter thought.
At the next stop that was Langley, a little family boarded the train and the baby was hysterical. And after a minute or so the baby stopped crying and the whole family smiled at Peter.
'That's even more weird', Peter thought to himself. No one, let alone a pretty lady or a baby, ever smiled at him. Though he was a very soft and funny guy, God had given him the exact opposite looks.
As they got down from the train, a little girl who was in tears stopped crying and her mom nodded a 'Thanks!' towards Peter.
'That's it!', Peter turned to the missus. 'Something is very different! Did you see the little kids stop crying! And the people, especially women, smiling at me! I bring peace to everyone or something!', Peter was excited.
'Oh that!', the missus said in a cool tone. 'You really need to stop humming the baby rhymes so loud in public, honey! People are going to think you are weird'
