She smiled at a sorrowful stranger....
She smiled at a sorrowful stranger
    the smile helped to cheer him up
He gave a very large tip at the restaurant
    the waitress, surprised by the size of the tip
          betted the whole thing at the fair
The next day, she collected her winnings
    and gave half of the money
          to a poor begger on the street
The begger who had no money for the day's meal
      now had enough to buy him a small dingy
One day, on his way home,
    he met a shivering puppy at the road side
He took the puppy home to get dry and fed it
That night, a neighbouring building caught fire
    the puppy barked until everyone in the environment woke up
The boy that was saved that day
    grew up to be a PRESIDENT
