The story was taken place somewhere in America and happened in Christmas Eve. The character in the story are a young lovely little girl and her beloved father.

The story was started when the young girl spent the whole of wrapping paper for wrapped a box which would be placedd under a Christmas tree. His father was very mad because of it for their financial condition was bad. In the following day, the Christmas Day, her father’s anger was flared again after knowing the box which was given to him was empty. But, the little girl explained that she blew thousand kisses into boxes, so whenever her father felt alone., he could still receive his daughter kisses. No longer afte, the little girl died because of an accident.

This story is good, I think for it contains a good moral value in it that, perhaps, sometimes we do not regard others’ love until we lose it.
