Two Divine Beings

The day before yesterday I ran seven and a half miles. After five and a half miles I came to the intersection where the Kew Motor Inn is.
 
It was about a quarter to eight in the morning. I was not in the middle of the street, but all of a sudden someone started honking. I looked around and saw a policeman on a motor bike. He was Puerto Rican. Since nobody else was around, I thought that perhaps I had done something wrong.
 
The policeman raised both hands and started screaming with joy, "Sri, Sri, Sri!"
 
I said to myself, "So, I have not committed any crime."
 
When I reached Main Street, I was about to make a left turn. Then I saw that a car had made a right turn and was waiting across the street. The driver-a fat, black man-was signalling me to come across. When I came near him, he said, "You are a very nice guy. I love you."
 
So, within eight hundred metres, I met two nice human beings, two really divine beings.
