Dad Walked 20 KM in the Storm for His Daughter's Birthday

Dad Walked 20 Kilometers in the Storm for Her Birthday The last bus had left. So he walked twenty kilometers in the storm. For a five-dollar gift. Samuel worked in the city all week. Tomorrow was his daughter's seventh birthday. She had asked for only one thing. A little music box, like the one in her picture book. But he finished late, and missed the last bus home. So he wrapped the gift in plastic, and started walking. The storm got worse. Then the old bridge was gone, washed away by the river. He walked two extra hours along the river to find another way across. At sunrise, soaked and shaking, he finally reached his door. Zara opened the box. The music started playing. And she didn't let go of him for an hour. Twenty years later, she still keeps that music box. Because the last bus had left. So he walked twenty kilometers in the storm.
