Question

The story goes that some time ago, a man had a very lovely little daughter. One day the man punished his three-year-old daughter for wasting a roll of gold wrapping paper(一卷金色包裝紙).

Money was tight(緊) and he became angry when the child tried to decorate(裝飾) a box to put under the Christmas tree. Nevertheless(盡管如此), the little girl brought the gift to her father the next morning and said, “This is for you, Daddy.”

The man was embarrassed by his earlier overreaction(過度反應(yīng))，but he was angry again when he found out the box was empty. He shouted at her, “Don’t you know, when you give someone a gift, there is supposed to be something inside?” The little girl looked up at him with tears(眼淚) in her eyes and cried, “Oh, Daddy, it’s not empty at all. I blew kisses into the box. They are all for you, Daddy.”

The father was surprised. He put his arm around his little girl, and he begged for her forgiveness(懇求她的原諒).

Only a short time later, an accident took the life of the child. It is also told that her father kept the gold box by his bed for many years and whenever he was upset, he would remember the love of the child who had put it there. 

Actually, each of us, has been given a gold container (容器) filled with love and kisses… from our children, family members, friends and God. Nothing is more precious(珍貴) than this.
