A Box of Kisses

A man punished his daughter for wasting a roll of gold wrapping paper.

一个男人惩罚他的女儿浪费了一卷金色包装纸。

Money was tight and he became angry when the child tried to decorate a box to put under the Christmas tree.

经济很拮据，当孩子想要装饰一个要放在圣诞树下的盒子时，他很生气。

Nevertheless, the little girl brought the gift to her father the next morning and said, "This is for you, Daddy."

然而，第二天早上，小女孩把礼物带给了她的父亲，说：“这是给你的，爸爸。”

He was embarrassed by his earlier overreaction, but his anger flared again when he found the box was empty.

他为自己先前反应过激感到尴尬，但他发现盒子是空的时，他的怒火又爆发了。

He yelled at her, "Don't you know that when you give someone a present, there's supposed to be something inside it?"

他对孩子吼道：“难道你不知道当你送人礼物时，里面应该有东西吗？”

The little girl looked up at him with tears in her eyes and said, "Oh, Daddy, it is not empty. I blew kisses into the box. All for you, Daddy."

小女孩抬头看着他，眼里含着泪水，说：“噢，爸爸，它不是空的。我向盒子里飞了吻。都是给你的，爸爸。”

The father felt embarrassed. He put his arms around his little girl, and he begged for her forgiveness.

父亲感到很窘迫。他搂着他的小女儿，恳求她的原谅。

It is told that the man kept that gold box by his bed for years and whenever he was discouraged, he would take out an imaginary kiss and remember the love of the child who had put it there.

据说这个男人把那个金盒子放在床边很多年了，每当他气馁的时候，他就会拿出一个想象中的吻，回想起把吻放进盒子里的孩子的爱。

Love is the most precious gift in the world.

爱是世界上最珍贵的礼物。
