as soon as they had sat down on the white mats , the father opened a bamboo basket that he had brought in with him , and took out a beautiful doll and a lacquer box full of cakes . " here , " he said to the little girl , " is a present for you . it is a prize for taking care of mother and the house so well while i was away . " " thank you , " said the child , as she bowed her head to the ground . she then put out her hand just like a little maple leaf with its eager wide - spread fingers to take the doll and the box , both of which , coming from the capital , were prettier than anything she had ever seen . no words can tell how delighted the little girl was - her face seemed as if it would melt with joy , and she had no eyes and no thought for anything else . again the husband dived into the basket , and brought out this time a square wooden box , carefully tied up with red and white string , and handing it to his wife , said : " and this is for you . "
delighted .
