The man was 4 by his earlier overreaction, but he got angry again when he found out the box was 5 . He yelled at her, adding, "Don"t you know, when you give someone a present, there is supposed to be 6 inside" The little girl 7 at him with tears in her eyes and cried, "Oh, Daddy, it"s not empty at all. I blew 8 into the box. They"re all for you, Daddy."
The father was 9 . He put his arms around his little girl, and he begged for her forgiveness.
Only a short time 10 , an accident took the life of the child. It is also told that ever since then her father kept that 11 box by his bed for many years and, 12 he was discouraged, he would take out a(n) 13 kiss and remember the love of the child who had put it there.
