Where’s That Million Dollar Smile?

Benji has the biggest, brightest, most contagious smile around, but he’s often stingy about sharing it. While his brother smiles easily, Benji withholds his smiles for comfortable situations. Granddaddy Roe loves smiles, and he experiments to see just what he can do to successfully extract Benji’s big smile from his sometimes stoic expressions. Because smiles customarily are a sign of pleasure, happiness, or amusement, Granddaddy tried holding him, waving to him and feeding him to get a big Benji smile, but unfortunately found little success. One technique that did yield giant grins was lightly running fingers all around Benji’s head.
