(2014 •湖北孝感)

For years I went to school by bus so I met many “familiar” strangers. We took the same bus but didn't know each other's names. I used to think it was impossible for us to be true friends. How wrong I was!Smiles from the “nameless” people have changed my thoughts.

The first time on the bus I saw different faces. As days went on we chatted like old friends.

But I felt it a pity that I was unable to set up the same friendship with a silent girl in the front of the bus. Her old clothing suggested that she didn't have much money but she always took a cup of water for the driver. I guessed she was a kind girl. But why did she sit in silence instead of talking with us? Why did she never reply to our friendly greetings? Couldn’t she smile?

Then one evening I got the answer. I walked to the park nearby and found the girl sitting alone under a tree lonely and sad. I greeted her with the same warm smile that had shown to her all these months but this time her face turned red then a shy smile appeared. As soon as she began her first words I understood why she hadn’t spoken to us before. Talking was hard for her.

I heard her story：her parents worked hard somewhere. She lived with her disabled grandparents. She said UI can't express (表达) myself very well. Most of the time I can't say what I want to say. I have no friends but ...you always smile to me like an angel...so I also want to smile.That evening we exchanged our names and we said goodbye like old friends.

Smiles are the key to opening the door of the heart;they can break the cold walls in front of us.
