Once upon a time, a man beat his 5-year-old daughter for using up the family’s only roll of expensive gold wrapping paper. Money was too little, and he became even more upset when on Christmas Eve, he saw that the child had pasted the gold paper so as to decorate a shoebox to put under the Christmas tree.

However, the next morning the little girl, filled with excitement, brought the gift box to her father and said, “This is for you, Daddy!”

83 As he opened the box, the father was embarrassed by what he had done.

But after he opened it, he found it was empty and again his shouted at her. “Don’t you know, young lady,” he said angrily, “When you give someone a present there’s supposed to be something inside the package!”

The little girl looked up at him with tears in her eyes and said, “Daddy, it’s not empty. I blew kisses into it until it was all full.”

The father was too sorry about it. He fell on his knees and put his arms around his lovely little girl. He begged her to forgive him for his unnecessary anger.

84 An accident took the life of the child only a short time later.

It is told that the father kept that little gold box by his bed for all the years of his life. Whenever he was discouraged or faced difficult problems he would open the box, take out an imaginary kiss, and remember the love of this beautiful child who had put it there.

In a very real sense, each of us as human beings have been given an invisible golden box filled with unconditional love and kisses from our children, family, friends and God.

There is no more precious possession anyone could hold.

Many Chinese students think American students enjoy more freedom than them at school. But American schools also have their rules. If the students break the rules, they will get punishment, too.

On the first day of a new term, 128 students of Morton High School were sent home for not wearing the wrong clothes. There are altogether 1,200 students in the school. Usually only 20 twenty students break the school dress rule every day. So the headmaster Theresa Mayerik said it was the worst new term she had ever seen.

At Morton High School, students’ favorite clothing such as baggy（宽大的）trousers, low-necked shirts and tank tops（紧身短背心）are not allowed in classrooms. Some students think they have the right to choose what the clothes they want to wear, but the headmaster doesn’t think so. “I’d be supportive if half the school was sent home, because 99% will get the message that our school are for education.” “Freedom” does not mean “free of restrictions（约束）”. That is to say there is no total freedom in the world, no matter in the US or in China.

It was the last day of the final examination in a college. On the steps of a building, a group of engineering students were waiting for the last exam. On their faces was confidence. 

They knew the exam would be easy. The professor (a teacher at a college) had said they could bring any books or notes during the test.

Right after they came into the classroom. The professor handed out the papers. There were only five questions on it.

Three hours passed. Then the professor began to collect the papers. The students no longer looked confident. On their faces was nervous expression. The professor watched the worried faces before him, and then asked, “How many of you have completed all five questions?” No hand was raised. “How many of you have answered four?” Still no hands. “Three? Two?” The students moved restlessly in their seats. “One, then? Certainly somebody has finished one.” But the class kept silent. The professor said, “That is exactly what I expected. I just want to make you know clearly that even though you have completed four years of engineering. There are still many things about the subject you don’t know. These questions you could not answer are common in everyday practice.” Then, smiling, he added, “You will all pass this course, your education has just begun.”
