Smile is the best distance between two people

One early morning at the end of 2004, a police car blaring a siren was chasing a panicking white van on the streets of Detroit, USA. In the van, a man armed with a gun frantically stepped on the accelerator and fled. His name is Douglas Andrew and he used to be a professional boxer. Just 20 minutes ago, destitute, he armed a gun and robbed a woman who had just withdrawn from the bank.

The reason why he took the risk was that he was poor and lonely because he needed money too much. He felt that only money could bring warmth to his soul and improve his current life and destiny!

After he carried out the robbery, the patrol who received the call locked the van immediately and launched a hunt. Andrew drove the van like a headless fly on the crowded street. Finally, he was forced into a residential area, desperate, he hid in a residential building with a huge sum of money.

He ran upstairs panting, found a vacant door, and broke in. The first thing that catches the eye is a tall girl sitting in front of the window arranging flowers with her back to him. He pointed the black hole gun at the girl, and if she dared to call for help or resist, he would pull the trigger without hesitation.

The girl was obviously disturbed by his voice. "Welcome, you are the first person to visit my flower arranging art today." The girl said and turned around, innocent, smiling like a flower.

Andrew was stunned, and the fingers on the trigger relaxed subconsciously, because what appeared before him was a sunny smiling face, and she was actually a blind person! She didn't realize that what she was facing at this moment was a vicious and vicious gunman, so her smile was still so sweet and friendly, and it was even more lovely against the backdrop of those beautiful flowers.

The girl smiled and said, "You must have seen the report about me on TV before you came to see me and my flower arrangement, right?"

Just when he was dazed, the girl smiled happily and proudly and said, "Unexpectedly, when I was about to leave this world, everyone cared about me so much. The citizens who came to see me a few days ago are in an endless stream. It is my love for life that gave them the courage to live!"

The girl giggled. Her innocence and undefended attitude towards an intruder gradually calmed his mood. He actually followed the girl's guidance and began to appreciate the girl's flower arrangements. Red roses, white lilies, and yellow tulips displayed irresistible beauty on the windowsill.

Andrew suddenly became curious about this girl: "Did you just say that you are about to leave this world?"

The girl said: "Yeah, don't you know? I have congenital heart disease. The doctor said that I can only live to 19 years old at most, and there will be a few days before my 18th birthday."

Andrew said sadly for the girl: "I feel sorry for you, maybe you are the same as me now, what you need most is money, if you can have more money, maybe you will live happily!" Reminiscent of his embarrassed life , Andrew smiled bitterly.

The girl smiled and said to Andrew: "You are wrong. No amount of money can cure my disease. Although I have no money now, I feel the joy of being alive. Instead, I give up my current possessions for those who People who exchange their lives for money feel sad! Because they don’t know that happiness has nothing to do with money."

The girl's words caused a storm in the depths of Andrew's heart! Isn't the self at this moment just exchanging his life for money?

The police who came for reinforcements have surrounded this residential area to a level where they did not know what was happening in this house at this time. The sound of footsteps came closer and closer.

"Your flower arrangement is so beautiful, it's as fascinating as your smile. I'm going to work, goodbye!" With that, Andrew picked up a bunch of flowers in his mouth, then gently closed the door and walked out of her home.

The police with live ammunition caught Andrew without a single shot. When the police handcuffed him, he only said one sentence: "Please don't disturb that girl, let alone tell her what happened just now, okay?"

The next day, a picture with a bunch of flowers in his mouth and surrendering to the police with his hands raised was posted in the local media.

Afterwards, people learned that the girl's name was Catherine, an American girl who was seriously ill but loved life. Maybe she still doesn't know.

A week later, a follow-up report of the incident by the local American media quoted the robber Andrew’s heartfelt words: "What I should be most grateful for is Catherine’s smile. Without her smile, there would be no use The chance for us to survive: She will die under my gun, and I will die under the gun in the stubborn resistance!

It was her smile that saved herself and me...Although she is a blind person,

But she obviously understands the great meaning of smiling to a person. Before that, if people were less indifferent to me and smiled more, maybe I would not lose myself in the crowded sea, and then take the risk.

Smile is the best distance between two people. This is the deepest life insight that I have exchanged for the coming ten years of jail..."
