David was a small boy in ragged clothes.

It amazed me — every time I saw Joe he was smiling. It didn’t matter whether he had to 26 at a stop light, or if he were the seventh person in 27 at the bank , and the teller closed her window just 28 he got there. Joe always smiled. It made me wonder why he always seemed so 29 .
Having observed Joe with other people, I also noticed something else. Joe 30 people how they were doing, and really seemed to listen to their answers. He was 31 if someone was hurt , and had kind words, and 32 to help in any way he could.
It made me think… what if I tried to smile more An 33 of sorts began when I went to a grocery store. I 34 as I went up and down the aisles(过道)… and people I didn’t even 35 smiled back at me. Some even 36 ! The little kid in the cart who was giving his mother a 37 time saw me smile and stopped talking…and, you guessed it — he made a little 38 attempt at a smile. The man in the handicapped cart 39 a person to reach something… I could get that for him. The smile even 40 to him, and he thanked me and smiled at me.
As I 41 home, I was smiling. I thought about what I had just 42 , and when someone passed my car and gave me a gesture, I smiled at him. He looked 43 .
Now I know a smile is a 44 thing, but what if we were all to try to smile a few more times each day I couldn’t believe how great I felt. 45 in my life had changed — but maybe it had. For what I learned was that such a small thing could lift not only my spirits, but those around me as well.
