How to get a complete stranger to smile - Creative writing.

In class, we had to write instructions on how to get a complete stranger to smile. I decided to write a story about it.

Gilbert was a very nice boy. He always said please and thank you and was also very smart. He was very polite and loved to see people smile so when he grew older he wanted to be a magician because they made everyone happy and smile with their amazing tricks.

"Mum, can I please go for a walk in town? I promise I'll be back by 12:00" gilbert asked.
"Sure" replied Mum.
So Gilbert went to town. His aim was to make someone smile.
Lots of people were busy so he could'nt interupt them and everyone else was already having fun and smiling but Gilbert found some homeless people sitting lonely on the street. Gilbert walked up to a man who looked very sleepy and limp. He wore a shredded jacket and dirty ripped pants.

"Hello" said Gilbert sitting down next to him. "How are you today?" He asked looking at the man. The man looked at him and said sadly, "Very hungry, lonely and poor but thank you for asking." Gilbert then looked into his eyes and saw the sorrow and pain in them.
"I will be right back," He said and he jumped and ran to the nearest bakery.

He ordered 2 Mince and Cheese pies and a bottle of fresh water. Excitedly, he sprinted back to the man (also being careful of the pies and drinks) When he found the man, it turned out he was asleep and Gilbert didn't want to wake him incase he was having a good dream. So Gilbert found a piece of paper and kindly asked a lady for a pen and on the paper he wrote,

My Dear Friend, I am very sorry that you ahve to lie here but I have bought you a little present. I hope you enjoy it and like it. Thank You for letting me help you.

Yours Sincerely,
Gilbert Sprout.

Then he added a smiley face and after he returned the pen and thanked the lady , he put the 2 pies and the bottle of water next to the homeless man and also put the note down too.

With that he hid around the corner and watched as the man woke and read the letter, then saw the pies. A huge smile crept across his face as he bit down into one and when he was finished, Gilbert also smiled . He walked back home and arrived at exactly 12:00.
