There is no more precious possession anyone could hold than love, and I got the lesson from my daughter Tina.
I still remember what happened that Christmas.With the festival 1 near, we were busy preparing the gifts for each other.My 2 and I were undergoing some financial problems, so money was a little 3 .That was 4 I became very angry when I found out that Tina, my 5-year-old daughter, had used up our family's only roll of expensive gold wrapping paper (包装纸).Therefore, I 5 her.Then I became even more upset when on Christmas Eve, I saw that Tina had pasted (糊) the gold paper so as to decorate a shoebox to put under the Christmas 6 .
7 ,the next morning Tina, filled with 8 ,brought the box to me, smiling and said, "This is for you.Mummy!".Holding the box, I was rather 9 by my earlier overreaction(过度反应).But when I opened it, I found it was empty.Immediately I became 10 again."Don't you know, young lady," I said seriously, "when you give someone a present, there's 11 to be something inside the package!"
Tina looked 12 at me with tears rolling from her 13 and said, "Mummy, it's not empty.I 14 kisses into it 15 it was all full." I was shocked.I fell on my knees and put my arms around my precious little girl.I begged her to 16 me for my unnecessary anger.
Only a short time later, a terrible accident took the life of my Tina.My sadness was beyond any word that could 17 .I kept that little gold box by my bed for all the years of my life.Whenever I was discouraged or faced with difficult problems I 18 open the box, take out an imaginary kiss, and remember the love of this beautiful 19 that had put it there.
In a very real sense, each of us as human beings has been given an invisible golden box filled with 20 from our children, family, friends and God.
