The story goes that 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 (愤怒的) when the child tried to decorate a box to put under the 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 overreaction, but his anger flared again when he found out the box was 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 had put it there. In a very real sense, each one of us, as humans beings, have been given a gold container filled with unconditional love and kisses from our children, family members, friends, and God. There is simply no other possession, anyone could hold, more precious than this. |

I couldn"t believe that the Murray had dried up, not one drop of water left. One morning I went down to the river to try and catch some fish when I saw my boat high and dry (搁浅) on the bank. I rushed down the river and saw all mud-no water. The fish were just lying there, dying. I looked up to see if my friend was there. There was the nest but no eagle (鹰) I called out to her with my special whistle which I made out of steel. Suddenly a big shadow came over to me and the eagle landed in her nest and gave her young the food she was out getting while I whistled. But then I suddenly noticed she was getting thinner and had a bit of sheep"s wool in the side of her talon (利爪). It was deadly quiet by the river bank, except for some sound from my dog. And also I couldn"t see one native animal or bird. When I walked inside the kitchen, Mum and Dad had sad looks on their faces. "It"s time for us to move, son, because the river can no longer support us," said Dad. I ran out of the kitchen door with tears in my eyes, and down to the river bank, to my favorite spot, I said goodbye to my eagle, crying.
