We often learn the most from our children.
　　我们常常会在自己的小孩子身上学到很多东西.

　　Some time ago, a friend of mine punished his 3-year-
old daughter for wasting a roll of gold wrapping paper.

　　很久之前, 我的一位朋友为了他三岁的女儿浪费了一些金色
的包装纸而处罚了她.
　　Money was tight, and he became infuriated when the
child tried to decorate a box to put under the tree.

　　那个时候也不是很有钱, 然而当他看见孩子将装饰好的盒子
放在树下后他更加的火大.

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

　　不管怎么样隔了一天, 那小女孩还是把把那个盒带到他父亲
面前说:"爸爸这是给你的."

　　He was embarrassed by his earlier over-reaction

　　他就对先前的过度反应而不好意思

　　but his anger flared again when he found that the
box was empty. He yelled at her, Don't you know that
when you give someone a present, there's supposed to be
something inside of it?!‥

　　当他发现盒子里面没有东西时他又发起脾气大声的骂她说:
你道底知不知道礼物盒里面应该是有礼物的?

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

　　那个小女孩抬起头来含着眼泪望着他爸爸说: "喔，爸爸里
面不是空的，在盒子里有很多我吹进去的吻, 那些全是给你的."


　　The father was crushed. He put his arms around his
little girl, and he begged her forgiveness.

　　那父亲当时就完全的崩溃了他就抱着小女孩并乞求她的谅解

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

　　我的朋友跟我说那个金盒子已经放在他床铺边很久了。每当
他遇到挫折时他就会拿出一个吻来并想起放这些吻进去的孩子对
他的爱

　　In a very real sense, each of us has been given a
gold container filled with unconditional love and
kisses from people who care about us.

　　说真的我们每一个人都有一个所有关心我们的人所送的金盒
子, 在那里面装满了他们给我们无条件的的爱和飞吻

　　There is no more precious possession anyone could hold. !!

　　没有人能够得到比这些更宝贵的东西.
