Gerald had been miserable all day. His face was dark, his eyes were narrow, his forehead scrunched like a man’s triple his age. No one knew why he was like that but before long his friends started to worry. Deciding to try and cheer him up, they all gathered round. One of them told a funny story. Nothing.Then another tried a joke. Still nothing. Finally, a third, made a really silly face. Gerald started to smirk, his mouth widened outwards, his frown faded away and a cascade of laughter erupted. In the end, Gerald just could not stop laughing.
