The story goes that some time ago, a man had a very lovely little daughter. One day the man punished his three-year-old daughter for wasting a roll of gold wrapping paper(一卷金色包装纸).
Money was tight(紧) and he became angry when the child tried to decorate(装饰) a box to put under the Christmas tree. Nevertheless(尽管如此), 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 overreaction(过度反应)，but he was angry again when he found out the box was empty.

I blew kisses into the box. They are all for you, Daddy.”
The father was surprised. He put his arm around his little girl, and he begged for her forgiveness(恳求她的原谅).
Only a short time later, an accident took the life of the child. It is also told that her father kept the gold box by his bed for many years and whenever he was upset, he would remember the love of the child who had put it there.

Some time ago I discovered that one of my chairs had a broken leg. I didn't think there would be any difficulty in getting it repaired, as there are a lot of antique (古董) shops near my home. So I left home one morning carrying the chair with me. I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception（接待）． I was quite wrong. The man wouldn't even look at my chair.
The second shop, though slightly more polite, was just the same, and the third and the fourth -- so I decided that my approach must be wrong.
I entered the fifth shop with a plan in my mind. I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper, "Would you like to buy a chair?"
He looked it over carefully and said,- "Yes, not a bad chair. How much do you want for it, sir?"
“Twenty pounds," I said.
“OK," he said, "I'll give you twenty pounds."

“I wouldn't have agreed to do it," he said. "We don't do repairs, not enough money in it and too much trouble. But I'II repair this for you. Shall we say for five pounds?" He was a very nice man and was greatly amused by the whole thing.
