TOYS （玩具）

 

We all love toys especially when we are little. Toys are our best friends. They let us to have a good time and help us to pass through our childhood. Also, toys are our best friends even when we are sad or angry. Toys are always fun to be with. They also very patiently listen to our complaints and us out of bad mood to cheer us up. Toys show their comical and lovely side. Some toys even help us  by increasing our knowledge。

 

That is not my point, however. What I want to tell you about is my daughter when she was just a little girl. Whenever I see some cute toys, automatically it reminds me of a very sad and very touching moment. Even today I will sometimes cry because that memory is fresh as just like yesterday…

 

My lovely daughter was born on a very beautiful sunny spring day. Her birth was a sign to my wife and me that were making our life to have a fresh start. To celebrate our little princess birth, my father named her “Ruo Xi” which means eternal dawn.

 

She brought much happiness for us. Although we still needed to deal with various difficulties, the gentle of her touching, the charm of smile with her softness, which filled our family with a feeling that life was definitely worth living, even though I was busy with my job that I still try to find much time to spend with her as I could. Most the time I would like to bring her to a park or a toy store.

 

She would like to enjoy with window shopping so much when I brought her to a toy store. Those amazing toys were always so expensive however that I couldn’t afford. All I could do was to buy a cheap toy instead an expensive one, and then I would always keep telling her that when I have enough money I would buy for her a beautiful one.

 

One of a really memorable day when she was three years old, I brought her into s super toy store, and the shop always carries many new, creative and amazing toys that even for our adults would like to have it, how could I tell my little princess that I even unable to get one for her since she was just three years old; and how was she supposed to understand that in this world some parents could afford to spend a fortune to please their children but some couldn’t?

 

Surprisingly, she spent time to gazing the window then, gently pulling at my clothing, and said to me, “Daddy, today I don’t want you to buy anything, when you have enough money, then could you buy me one?” How sweet of my little princess! She seemed know even better than I do since I don’t know how I could tell her…she was just a little girl! And I was thinking that she should just to be discovering her magic childhood.

 

What a marvelous child! I almost couldn’t control my emotions, I hugged her very hardly and told her, “My lovely little princess, remember that, a promise is a promise, I will keep my promise. You are my life, my hope and my future. Daddy will work very hard to buy these amazing toys that you love. Always remember, daddy will try his best for you no matter what.ove. se amazing toys  future. Daddy will will work very  ldhood.

 I don'ing, and d some parents could afford to spend ”

 

She used her little hands to wipe off my tears, and she kissed my face softly and said, “Don’t crying daddy…” she had her tears around her eyes too, “I do not really want you to buy these toys; we can come and see them often at the toy store, when I grown up, I will make a lot of money and we will never be poor again.” I felt sorry for her, in the same time I was also very proud.

 

A year later, I bought her a new toy for her fourth birthday. When I saw how happily she played with them, a heavy stone finally removed from my heart.

Eight years passed away, I wish my daughter would able to read this article again to wake her up how she real father is. And wish this article would remind her although my marriage status is charged especially have another two new baby girls today, but she still my little princess with my love no matter what.
