Some time ago, a man punished his 5­year­old daughter for wasting a roll of expensive gold wrapping (°ü×°) paper.

Money was tight and he became more upset when the child wasted the gold paper so as to decorate a box to put under a Christmas tree.

Nevertheless, the little girl brought the gift box to her father the next morning and said£¬“This is for you£¬Daddy.”

The father was embarrassed by his earlier overreaction£¬but his anger flared again when he found the box empty. He spoke to her in a harsh manner£¬“Don't you know young lady, when you give someone a present there's supposed to be something inside the package£¿”

The little girl looked up at him with tears in her eyes and said£¬“Oh£¬Daddy£¬it is not empty. I blew kisses into it until it was full.” The father was crushed. He fell on his knees and put his arms around his little girl and he begged her to forgive his unnecessary anger.

An accident took the life of the child only a short time later and it is told that the father kept the gold box by his bed for all the years of his life and whenever he was discovered or faced difficult problems, he would open the box and take out an imaginary kiss and remember the love of the child who had put it there.

In a very real sense, each of us as human beings has been given a golden box filled with unconditional love and kisses from our children, family, friends and God.There is no more precious possession anyone can hold.
