The story goes that 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, "This is for
you, Daddy."
The man was embarrassed by his earlier overreaction,
but his anger flared again when he found out the box was
empty. He yelled at her, stating, "Don't you know, when
you give someone a present, there is supposed to 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 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 also told that her father kept that 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.
