Question

The story goes that some time ago, a man punished (懲罰) his 3-year-old daughter for wasting a roll (卷) of gold paper. The family was not rich and he became angry when the child tried to decorate (裝飾) a box to put under the Christmas tree. However, the little girl brought the gift to her father the next morning and said, “This is for you, Daddy.”

The man felt sorry for what he had done the day before, but felt angry again when he found out the box was empty. He shouted at her, “Don’t you know, when you give someone a present, there should be something inside?” The little girl looked up at him with tears in her eyes and cried, “Oh, Daddy, it’s not empty at all. I blew kisses into the box. They’re all for you, Daddy.”

The father was shocked. He put his arms around his little girl and said sorry again and again.

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