[00:00.97]Kiss In A Box 盒子中的吻
[00:06.00]The story goes that some time ago,
[00:09.21]a man punished his 3-year-old daughter for wasting a roll of gold wrapping paper.
[00:15.63]Money was tight and he became infuriated
[00:19.52]when the child tried to decorate a box to put under the Christmas tree.
[00:24.27]Nevertheless, the little girl brought the gift to her father the next morning
[00:29.51]and said, “This is for you, Daddy.”
[00:32.61]He was embarrassed by his earlier overreaction,
[00:36.73]but his anger flared 1 again when he found the box was empty.
[00:40.91]He yelled 2 at her, “Don’t you know that when you give someone a present,
[00:45.78]there’s supposed to be something inside it?”
[00:48.89]The little girl looked up at him with tears in her eyes and said,
[00:53.68]“Oh, Daddy, it is not empty.
[00:58.08]I blew kisses into the box. All for you, Daddy.”
[01:03.00]The father was crushed. He put his arms around his little girl,
[01:08.41]and he begged for her forgiveness.
[01:10.88]It is told that the man kept that gold box by his bed for years
[01:16.17]and whenever he was discouraged,
[01:18.54]he would take out an imaginary kiss
[01:21.13]and remember the love of the child who had put it there.
[01:24.45]In a very real sense, each of us as humans have been given a gold container
[01:31.09]filled with unconditional 3 love and kisses
[01:34.19]from our children, friends and family.
[01:36.70]There is no more precious possession anyone could hold.
