The story goes that some time ago, a man had a very lovely little daughter. One day the man 　36 his 3-year-old daughter for　 37 a roll of gold wrapping(包装) paper. They were poor, so money was tight and he became 　38 when the child tried to decorate a 　39 to put under the Christmas tree. 　40, the little girl brought the gift to her 41 the next morning and said, "This is for you, Daddy."

　 The man was　 42 　by his earlier 43 , but his anger arose again when he found out the box was 44 . He stared at her, shouting, "Don’t you know, when you give someone a present, there is 45 　to be something inside?" The little girl looked 46 　at him with tears in her eyes and cried, "Oh, Daddy, it’s not empty 47 . I blew kisses into the box. They are all for you, Daddy."

The father was deeply moved. He 48 his arms around his little girl, and he begged for her 49 .Only a short time later, an 50 took the life of the child. It is also told that her father kept that gold box by his bed for many 51 and whenever he was discouraged, he would take out an　 52 kiss and remember the love of the child who had put it there. In a very real sense, each one of us, as human beings, has been given a gold container 53 unconditional love and kisses...from our children, family members, friends and God. There is simply no other 54 , anyone could hold, more 55 than this.
