A great man married a woman and they had a little lovely girl.
When the little girl was growing up, the man usually hugged her and said, “I love you, little girl.” The Little girl would say, “I’m not a little girl any more.” Then the man would laugh, “But to me, you’ll always be my little girl.”
The little girl later left her home and went into the world. No matter where she was, the man would call her and say, “I love you, little girl.”
One day the little girl received an unexpected phone call. The great man became ill. He couldn’t talk, smile, walk, hug or dance.
