12.Once upon a time,a man punished his 5-year-old daughter for using up the family's only roll of expensive gold wrapping paper.Money was tight,and he became even more upset when he saw that the child had pasted(粘贴)the gold paper so as to decorate a shoebox to put under the Christmas tree.
Nevertheless,the next morning the little girl,filled with excitement,brought the gift box to her father and said,"This is for you,Daddy!"
Seeing the box,the father was embarrassed by his earlier overreaction.But when he opened it,he found it was empty and again his anger burst out."Don't you know,young lady,"he shouted,"when you give someone a present,there's supposed to be something inside the package?"
The little girl looked up at him with tears rolling from her eyes and said:"Daddy,it's not empty.I blew kisses into it until it was all full."
The father broke down.He fell on his knees and put his arms around his precious little girl.He begged her to forgive him for his unnecessary anger.

In a real sense,each of us has been given a"gold box"filled with unconditional love and kisses from our children,family,friends and God.There is no more precious possession anyone could hold.
