other people.
of them had a smile on their face and they all seemed to be in a hurry .After the cold ,snowy winter, we were having a warm, sunny day. I wanted to cheer them up, so I spoke up and said, “I don’ t know
one of you ordered this fantastic day for us, but l want to say I really appreciate
and thank you .”After that, the five of us smiled
we started talking to each other. What I had said made
big difference to everyone’s day. You can see that it is much easier to spread kindness
words.
