When I was 13 years old, a boy gave me an important gift. It was a smile. ①
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.
Every time I heard the other students talking and laughing, I felt my heart break. I couldn't talk to anyone about my problem, and I didn't want my parents worry about me.
Then one day, my classmate talked happily with their friends, but I sat at my desk unhappily as usual, a boy entered the classroom. I didn't know who he was. He passed me and then turned back. He looked at me and without a word, smiled. ②
Suddenly, I felt the touch of something bright and friendly. It made me happy. ③ 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 dark days have gone. ④ If you think you are lonely, you always be alone. So smile at the world and it will smile back.
