This is an old persian story about love that has slightly been changed
...but it has a nice lesson in it...
A man punished his 5-year-old daughter for wasting a roll of expensive gold
wrapping paper. Money was tight and he became even more upset when the
child pasted the gold paper so as to decorate a box to put on the table
during Eid.
Nevertheless, the little girl brought the gift box to her father the next
morning and said, \"This is for you,Daddy.\"
The father was embarrassed by his earlier over reaction, but his anger
flared again when he found the box was empty. He spoke to her in a harsh
manner, \"Don\'t you know, young lady,when you give someone a present there\'s
supposed to be something inside he package?\"
The little girl looked up at him with tears in her eyes and said,
\"Oh,Daddy, it\'s not empty. I blew kisses into it until it was full.\"
The Father was crushed. He fell on his knees and put his arms around his
little girl, and he begged her to forgive him for his unnecessary anger.
An accident took the life of the child only a short time later and it is
told that the father kept that gold box by his bed for all the years of his
life. And whenever he was discouraged or faced difficult problems he would
open the box and take out an imaginary kiss and remembered the love of the
child who had put it there.
In a very real sense, each of us as human beings have been given a golden
box filled with unconditional love and kisses from our children, family and
friends. There is no more precious possession anyone could hold. Friends
are gifts from God who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble
remembering how to fly.
