Think

A penny dropped
A homeless man becomes a millionaire
A butterfly fluttered its wings
Five million people die in an earthquake
A little girl gave a stranger a flower
The stranger went home and through way his gun
A dog saved a little boy from a burning fire
The little boy later becomes president
A waitress was given a large tip
Her children got sometime to eat
A man becomes rich after his invention of cigarettes
One hundred million people per year now die of cancer
and other diseases caused by smoking
A boy and his friends make fun of two boys at school everyday
The columbine shootings affected many lives
People use to much gas and pollute the world
A hole has been created in the ozone layer
Killing us a little each day
Pandora opened the forbidden box
Millions of people today die in wars, car accidents, and other fatal occurances

Think before you act! Every action, has a reaction!
