Some time ago, a man punished his 3-year-old daughter for wasting a roll of gold wrapping paper. Money was tight and he became infuriated when the child tried to decorate a box to put under the Christmas tree.
Nevertheless, the little girl brought the gift to her father the next morning and said, тАЬThis is for you, Daddy.тАЭ
The man became embarrassed by his overreaction earlier, but his rage continue when he saw that the box was empty. He yelled at her; тАЬDonтАЩt you know, when you give someone a present, there is supposed to be something inside?тАЭ
The little girl looked up at him with tears in her eyes and cried;
тАЬOh, Daddy, itтАЩs not empty at all. I blew kisses into the box. TheyтАЩre all for you, Daddy.тАЭ
The father was crushed. He put his arms around his little girl, and he begged for her forgiveness.
Only a short time later, an accident took the life of the child.
Her father kept the gold box by his bed for many years and, whenever he was discouraged, he would take out an imaginary kiss and remember the love of the child who had put it there.
Moral of the story:
Love is the most precious gift in the world.
