Smile Can Change Everything

In a city, there is a child who never know how to treat others well. He's rude, never thanked, not even friendly to the people around him. The boy named Calvin.

-----------

Then, there is a child who just move into Calvin’s school.The child is very special, she has difficulty in using her legs to walk, to run, and  to do other activities. This girl named Rose.
When Rose enter into the classroom and introduce herself to the students in the class, Calvin insulte from the corner of the class.
"Hey! What's wrong with your leg? You definitely can not play with us haha. Why did you choose to school here? You better look for another school who has a student like you", said Calvin.

But Rose only smile as she head into the corner of the class, right next to Calvin. Calvin see her with a smile full of contempt.
Rose want to get acquainte with Calvin, but Calvin just keep silent and singing.

---------

"triiiing ... ... triiiiiiing triiing ...." the bell rang signaling the time after school.

Calvin run to get home and without He know it, He hit Rose in difficulty clearing his school equipment. Without saying sorry, calvin still running.

"Awww ... hey boy! You hit me !!!!", said Rose.
"hhhh ... it is pointless to talk to the boy, he will not care about other people.", said Rose in her heart.

(in Calvin’s home)

"why do you always go home late? Sometimes you don’t even come home at all."
"I'm busy at work, a lot of work in the other city."
"Don’t lie to me! I know you've got another woman."
.......

That is what always happen in the Calvin’s home every day. Parents who always fight in front of their child. And because of that Calvin become a child who never care about the surroundings.

If his parents are fighting, Calvin usually go somewhere. It can make him more relax and enjoy the rest of the day. That afternoon,Calvin go to the hill which is being fill by the beggars and homeless people who are lining up.
Out of curiosity, Calvin ask what is happening to someone who is next to him.
"What are the beggars and the homelessdoing here, Sir?"
"Oh, there is a child who distributing food, kid. She is a kid but she's happy to give something to the little people like us. Her name is Rose. What a beautiful name!", Said the old man.

Then Calvin recall to his new friend in class. But, Calvin just leave the crowd and begin to climb the tree. Calvin sit silent, looking at the beautiful scenery that soothes the eye.

When the crowd begin to quiet, Calvin’s eyes look at a girl who remind him of Rose. And it's really Rose!

and Calvin call her, "Roseee ...!!!! Roseee! what are you doing here?", Calvin down from the tree.
"Hey Calvin! I've just finished distributing food to those people. And what are you doing here?", Said Rose, trying to sit next to Calvin.
"Hmm ... I want to be alone."
"There is a problem, Vin?"
"Yes."
"What problem? Want to share your story with me?"
"All right. My parents are fighting."
"Oh. I’m sorry ... May I ask about something?

"Yes, please."
"Why you don’t care about the people around you?"
"What will I get if I do care about them?”
"You'll have plenty of friends so if you just a little more friendly."
"I do not need them.”
"Hm… But by doing good deeds will automatically make your heart feel better. You should try it first. If it is not convenient, you do not need to do it again. All you have to do is be yourself."
"Hm ... What should I do?", Calvin said with little enthusiasm.
"To do good thing? Quite a lot, Calvin. Starting from the simplest, for example, give a smile to someone.", Said Rose friendly.

"Fine, I'll try tomorrow. Now I'm going home, it's almost evening. With whom you come home?"
"With my driver. Okay, bye."

Then they return to their homes.

-------------

At school they meet with smiles on their faces. And ...Hey! Calvin begin to smile. Not only to Rose, but also to another friends.
Rose is very pleased to see changes to Calvin though he still looks stiff.

Other students begin to talk about Calvin with other students.
"Thankyou, Rose. A smile has changed my day. Thank you for your suggestion. Then what should I do?", Said Calvin to Rose.
"Begin to help friends who need your help. Do anything as long as it is good for others. Make the world is full of smiles.", Said Rose.
