    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 reaction, and opened the box. But his anger flared again when he found that the box was empty. He shouted 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.” 

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