Q.2: Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow

Some time ago, a man punished his 3-year-old daughter for wasting a roll of gold wrapping

paper. Money was tight and he became infuriated when the child tried to decorate a box to put

under Christmas tree. 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 over reaction, but his anger flared again when he found

out that the box as empty. He yelled 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, Daddy.”

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

Only a short time later, an accident took the life of the child. It is also told that her father kept

that gold box by his bed for many years and, whenever he was discouraged, he would take out an

imaginary kiss and remember the love of the child who put it in there.

In a very real sense, each one of us, as human beings, have been given a gold container filled

with unconditional love and kisses, by our children, family members, friends and God. There is

simply no other possession, anyone could hold, more precious than this.
