Peace and the Pigeon

While we were making our way down Orchard Road among the many floats on display, we heard somebody excitedly calling her daughter to quickly stand in place to have her picture taken with the pigeon. A pigeon? On a noisy and crowded Orchard Road? It must have lost its way or something. But we realised soon enough that she was referring to a float with a huge Dove - that symbol of peace.

No wonder peace is not universal, when people so readily mistaken a dove for a pigeon, and the mistake is passed on to the younger generation. ;=)
