  1. The Man who never Smiles

    Share Share Post
    Smiles.
    Dick is always a gloomy man. Even while he is at work he never smiles. It is said that he is well off in the world but still he is not happy. While at home with his wife and children, he sits down thinking. In company its all the same. He never joins in their sport. There is many an attempt made to make him smile but its useless. While working one day one of the men put a young donkey up on his shoulders and began dancing but the man never smiled. I am afraid his end shall be due to worrying.
