A man and his family were in Europe. Once they needed to drive 3 days
36, day and night, to get to Germany. His little daughter had never
37 at night without a break before. She was
38 the first night in the car, with terrible deep darkness outside.
“Where are we going, Daddy?” asked the daughter. “To your uncle’s house in Germany.” Father answered.
“Have you been to his
39 before?” “No.”
“Then, do you know the
40 ?” “Maybe, we can read the map.”
Short pause. “Do you know how to read the map?” “Yes, we will get there
41 . Don’t worry.”
The same dialogue
42 a few times within the first night, and also the second night. 43 on the third night, his daughter was quiet. Father thought that she might have fallen
44 , but when he looked into the mirror, he saw that she was awake and was just
45 calmly. He couldn’t help wondering
46 she was not asking the questions anymore.
“Dear, do you know where we are going?” “Germany, uncle’s house.”
“ Do you know how we are getting there?” “No.”
“ Then why aren’t you asking anymore?” “Because Daddy is
47 .”
Because Daddy is driving. This answer from a 3 years old girl has then become the
48 and help this man for many years whenever he has questions and
49 on his journey. We may
50 the destination and sometimes we may just know it
51 the little girl-“Germany”, without understanding where or what it
52 is. We do not know the way. We do not know how to read the map. We do not know if we can find
53 along the way to eat in. But the little girl knows the most
54 thing-Daddy is driving-and so she is safe and secure. She knows that her Daddy will
55 all that she needs.
