Many years ago there lived a little girl in one of the streets of New York.She was about twelve years old.Her cheerful face brought gladness to many a person who lived in the slums of the city.One day this little girl was taking part in a concert.She was very thrilled about it.Many people came to see the show.Now it so happened that in the audience that afternoon, was a well-known doctor.Whether he was feeling sad or lonely,one could not tell.Somehow as he saw the little girl's face,his heart was touched.Then she happened to turn ,and looked straight at him and smiled! Her smile was as sunshine.It brightened everything.The doctor thought he had never seen anything so lovely before.He left the hall a happier and brighter man and he never forgot that smile.Its memory remained with him till his death.
When his will was read all were astonished.He was an extremely rich man.But he didnot leave his money to any relatives for he had none;nor did he leave it to any hospital or charitable institution.But to use his own words 'to those who have given me happiness during my lifetime"
On the list was little girl's name,the one who had smiled at him from the stage,years earlier! He left her 150000 dollars! Just imagine for a smile!
Moral: Smile is very valuable!
