A smile is worth a lot

Recently the Meister has realised that you can't put a price to a nice smile...especially a handsome smile that the Meister possesses. For the last 2-3 days people have been queing up to help the Meister...which makes a pleasant change to the Meister's life coz usually nobody bothers.  Anyway, it all started the day before yesterday early morning when a man suddenly offered the Meister a lift to Tarnaka, all because the Meister had politely waited for him beside a hole in order to let him pass easily. The Meister coul;d not take up the offer as he was going to the station to catch the MMTS. In the MMTS, one of the regular passengers actually had saved a seat for the Meister (something which never happens). 
Once he reached office, he saw the gates closed as usual. (The Meister is the 1st tocome to office on 98% of the days) So he sat on the stairs. The security guard of the floor below was passing by and seeing the Meister suddenly hurriedly went and brought water for him.  Again probably because the Meister smiles at him every morning and waves at him every evening while leaving. 
To top it all, while he was sitting, an officer from another office came and actually offered him the chance to go and sit in his office till the Meister's office's gate opens. The Meister has now met him almost everyday and has struck up a casual friendship, their last 2 topics of discussion were the reading habits of the guy's kid daughter( who although around 14 read the Animal farm and apparently at midnight pestered the guy saying "papa the windmill died") and why the Meister is still not getting married and is planning never to. Weird indeed.
