A smile

The woman smiled at a stranger with sorrowful face.
The smile seemed to make him feel better.
He remembered past kindnesses of a friend
Helped him to overcome obstacles
And he decided to write him a thank-you letter.
The friend was so pleased with the sincere thank-you
That he left a large tip on the table after lunch at a restaurant.
The waitress, surprised by the big size of the tip,
So she bet the whole sum on a hunch for a fortune.
The next day she got the news of her winning,
And gave part of it to a wandering man.
The man on the street was grateful;
For two days he'd had nothing to eat.
After finishing his lavish dinner with bread and butter and milk,
He left for his small dingy house.
Where the other poor lived together.
(He didn't know at that moment
that he might struggle with his doom.)
On the way the old man picked up a shivering puppy.
And took him home to get warm.
The puppy was very grateful
to be in out of the storms and wandering in hungery and thirsty.
That night the house caught on fire
The puppy barked the alarm.
He barked 'till he woke the whole household,
his barking saved everybody from harm.
One of the boys that he rescued that day
grew up to be President,
Talented and very kind hearted.
All this because of a simple smile
that hadn't cost a cent.
