The story goes that some time ago, a man punished his 3-year-old daughter for wasting a roll of golden wrapping paper. Money was tight and he became infuriated when the child tried to decorate a box to put under the Christmas tree. Nevertheless, the little girl brought the gift to her father the next morning and said, “This is for you, Daddy.”
The man was embarrassed by his earlier overreaction, but his anger flared again when he found out the box was empty. He yelled at her, stating, “Don’t you know, when you give someone a present, there is supposed to be something inside?” The little girl looked up at him with tears in her eyes and cried, “Oh, Daddy, it’s not empty at all. I blew kisses into the box. They’re all for you, Daddy.”
The father was crushed. He put his arms around his little girl, and he begged for her forgiveness.
Only a short time later, an accident took the life of the child. It is also told that her father kept that gold box by his bed for many 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.
Each one of us, as human beings, has been given a gold container filled with unconditional love and kisses…..from our children, family members and friends. There is simply no other possession, anyone could hold, more precious than this.
这个故事说的是以前，一个男人惩罚了他三岁的女儿，因为她浪费了一卷金泊包装纸。家里经济困难，当他知道女儿包了一个盒子放在圣诞树下时，他简直怒气冲天。但第二天，女儿把礼物拿到他面前说“爸爸，这是给你的。”
爸 爸为前一天晚上的举动而感到羞愧难当，但当他发现盒子里什么都没装时，他再一次暴怒，对着女儿大吼道“难道你不知道当你送礼物给别人时，你要放东西进去 吗？”女儿抬起脸望着他，眼眶里满是泪水，边哭边说：“哦，爸爸。那不是空盒子。我飞了好多好多个亲吻进去，都是给你的。”

爸爸惊呆了，他拥抱着女儿，祈求她的原谅。
不久以后，女儿在一次收购中丧生。爸爸一直把那个金盒子放在床畔，放了很多很多年。每当他心情沮丧时，他就会拿出一个想象中的亲吻，想念着那个将吻吹进盒子的孩子给他的爱。
我们每一个人都有一个金罐子，里面装满了无条件的爱和吻，有孩子的，有家人的，还有朋友的。没有人可以拥有比这更加珍贵的财产。
赏 析：本文中女儿对爸爸的爱读来不禁让人动容。爱是无条件的，也是无法用金钱来衡量的。就物质表象来说，一个盒子里什么都没装，但是当爸爸知道里面装着什么 之后，我们能说里面什么都没有吗？盒子里装着对爸爸来说最重要的东西，那就是女儿的爱。世间没有任何一样物品能比得上逝去的女儿留给他的这个满载感情的金 盒子，那是维系他和女儿的纽带。女儿已去，唯有一抹香吻留心间。
父母对子女的爱是无私的，子女对父母也有同样的无限温情，这样的感情不会因为是传统的中的西方家庭而有所区别，而是所有父母和子女之间共通的东西，只不过是表达方式各有不同罢了。
