When I was 13 years old,
a boy gave me an important gift. It was a smile.
It was the early autumn of my first year at a junior
high school, and my old school was far away. As a result, no one knew who I
was. I was very lonely, and afraid to make friends with anyone.
Every time I heard the other students talking
and laughing, I felt that my heart broke. I couldn't talk to anyone about my
problem, and I didn't want my parents to worry about me.
Then one day, my
classmates talked happily with their friends, but I sat at my desk unhappily as
usual. At that moment, a boy came into the classroom. I didn't know who he was.
He passed me and turned back. He looked at me and without a word, smiled.
Suddenly(突然),
I felt the touch of something bright and friendly. It made me feel happy,
lively and warm.
That smile changed my life. I started to talk
with the other students and made friends. Day by day, I became closer to
everyone in my class. The boy with the lucky smile has become my best friend
now.
One day, I asked him why he smiled, but he
couldn't remember smiling at me! It doesn't matter because all the dark days
have gone. Now I believe that the world is what you think it is. If you think
you are lonely, you might always be alone. So smile at the world and it will
smile back.
