【题目】 Mr. Dawson was an old grouch(不高兴的人), Kids knew not to go into his yard to pick a delicious apple, even off the ground, because old Dawson, they said, would come after you with his ball bullet gun.

One Friday, 12-year-old Janet was going to stay all night with her friend Amy. They had to walk by Dawson’s house , but as they got close ,Janet saw him sitting on his front porch(门廊) and suggested they cross over to the other side of the street.

Amy said not to worry, Mr. Dawson wouldn’t hurt anyone. When they got close enough, Dawson looked up with his usual frown, but when he saw it was Amy, a smile changed his face as he said, “Hello Miss Amy. I see you’ve got a little friend with you today.”

Amy smiled back and told him Janet was staying overnight. Dawson told them that sounded fun, and offered them each a fresh picked apple off his tree. They gladly accepted. Dawson had the best apples in town.

When they got out of Dawson’s, Janet asked Amy, “Everyone says he’s the meanest(刻薄的) man in town. How come was he so nice to us?”

Amy explained that when she first started walking past his house he wasn’t very friendly and she was afraid of him, but she pretended he was wearing an invisible(无形的) smile and so she always smiled back at him. It took a while, but one day he half-smiled back at her.

After some more time, he started smiling real smiles and then started talking to her. Just a "hello" at first, then more. She said he always offers her an apple now, and is always very kind.

"An invisible smile?" questioned Janet.

"Yes," answered Amy, "my grandma told me that if I pretended I wasn’t afraid and pretended he was smiling an invisible smile at me and I smiled back at him, that sooner or later he would really smile. "
