“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.
