     Later Janet asked Amy , “ everyone says he is the most unwelcome person in town . Why was he so kind to us ? ” Amy explained that when she first walked past his house , she was also afraid of him . But she pretended there was an invisible ( 看不见的 ）smile on his face and then started talking to her . Just a “ hello ” at first , and then more .

     “ An invisible smile ？ ”Janet was puzzled ,“ Yes ,” answered Amy , “ My grandma told me to think so . She says smiles can run around . If we keep smiling at someone , sooner or later he will really smile back .  ”
