One day, 12-year-old Janet and her friend Amy had to walk past Mr. Dawson’ s house. When Janet saw him outside, she suggested they cross the street and walk on the other side. But Amy said they didn’t need to.

“An invisible smile?” Janet was puzzled (困惑的). “Yes,” answered Amy. “My grandma told me to try that. She says smiles can spread. So if we keep trying to smile at someone, sooner or later they will smile back.”
