She smiled at a sorrowful stranger. The smile seemed to make him feel better. He remembered past kindnesses of a friend and wrote him a thank you letter. The friend was so pleased with the thank you that he left a large tip after lunch. The waitress, surprised by the size of tip, bet the whole thing on a hunch. The next day, she picked up her winnings and gave part of it to a man on the street. The man was grateful; he ate for the two days he had nothing to eat. After he finished his dinner, he left for his small dingy room. He didn't know at that moment that he might be facing his doom. On the way he picked up a shivering puppy and took him home to get warm. The puppy was grateful to be out of the storm. That night the house caught on fire. The puppy barked that alarm. He barked till he woke the whole household and saved everybody from harm. One of the boys that he rescued grew up to be president. All these because of a simple smile that didn't cost a cent.
