(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 ‘til 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.

Một nụ cười
Người phụ nữ mỉm cười với một người hoàn toàn xa lạ có gương
mặt đượm vẻ đau buồn.
Nụ cười như giúp ông thấy dễ chịu hơn.
