He couldn't afford a big party.

So he returned home with one slice of cake.

For him it was all he could give his daughter on his birthday.

The scene was filmed in Anápolis, Brazil.

The father, a construction worker, knew he had no economic chance to organize a party as he wished.

But he didn't want that day to pass without a gesture of love.

He entered the house with a small slice of cake, a lit candle and a smile.

The child looked at him for a few moments.

Then he realized.

He didn't see what was missing.

He saw all the love his father had put in that simple gesture.

He ran and hugged him bursting into tears.

In a short time the story toured the web and many decided to contribute with a donation, so that the child could have the feast that the father would so much like to give them.

But perhaps the most important gift had already received it.

Because there are children who learn a precious lesson very soon.

Happiness does not depend on how big a cake is.

It depends on how much love there is in the hand of whom brings it.

And that hug reminded everyone that sometimes the greatest gift is not what you buy.

You know someone would do anything to see you smile.
