It was Molly’s job to hand her father his blue paper lunch bag each morning before he went to work. One morning, besides his usual lunch bag, Molly handed him a second brown paper bag. “What’s in it ?” his father asked. “Just some little things. Take it with you,” Molly answered.
At noon, he opened Molly’s bag and took out the things in it: three hair ribbons, two small stones, a plastic dinosaur, a small doll… The busy father smiled, finished eating, and swept the desk clean into the dustbin, Molly’s bag was together with. That evening, Molly ran up behind him as he was reading the paper. “Where’s my bag?” “I left it at the office. Why?” “I forgot to put this note in it, ” she said. “And, besides, Daddy, the things in the bag are the things I really like— I thought you might like to play with them in your free time. You didn’t lose the bag, did you, Daddy?” “Oh, no,” he said, lying. “I just forgot to bring it home.”
While Molly hugged her father’s neck, he opened the note that read: “I love you, Daddy.” Molly h ad given him her treasures(财富)— all that a 7-year-old girl had. Love in a paper bag, and he missed it—not only missed it, but had thrown it in the dustbin. So he went back to the office, got the bag back and carried it home.
