     "Do you like my dress?" she asked a stranger. "My mum made it just for me," she said with tears in

her eyes.

     "Well, I think it's very pretty, so tell me, little girl, why are you crying?"

     The little girl answered in a low voice, "After mum made me this dress, she went away. My dad says

that she's up in heaven (天堂) now with Grandfather."

      Finally the woman realized why she was crying. She felt very sorry for the little girl and gently held the

child in her arms.

    Then suddenly the little girl did something a bit strange. She stopped crying, walked back from the woman

and began to sing. She sang softly. It was the sweetest sound the woman had ever heard, almost like the song

of a very small bird.

    After the child stopped singing, she said to the lady, "My mum often sang that song to me before she went

away, and she asked me to sing it whenever I started crying and it would make me stop."

     "See," she said loudly, "it did, and now my eyes are dry!"

     Just before the lady wanted to go, the girl showed her a spot (印迹) on her dress, and said, "Right here is

where my mum kissed (吻) my dress, and here," pointing to another spot, "and here is another kiss, and here,

and here. Mum said that she put all those kisses on my dress so that I would forget my sadness."

     Then the lady realized that she wasn't just looking at a dress, no, she was looking at a mother. The mother

knew that she was going away and would not be there to kiss away her daughter's hurts any longer.

     So the mother gave all her love to her beautiful daughter and put it into this dress. Now her child was

wearing it so proudly.

     The lady no longer saw a little girl wearing a simple dress. She saw a child wrapped (包) in her mother's

love.
