the story goes that some time ago,a man punished his three years old daughter for wasting a roll of his gold wrapping paper. money was tight and he became infuriated when the child tried to decorate a box under a Christmas tree. nevertheless the girl brought the present to her father the next morning and said, "this is for you, daddy."
the man was embarrassed by his earlier over action, but his anger flared again when his found out the box was empty, he yelled at her,stating,"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 in her eyes and cried,"oh daddy, its not empty at all. i blew kisses into the box. there are all for you daddy."
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. it is told that her father kept that gold box by his bed for many years and whenever it was discouraged, he would take out an imaginary kiss and remember the love of the child who had put it there.
