A little girl prances in dress-up clothes, jumps and spins in the meadow, dances in the school play, and performs at her dance recital in pink slippers.
Her father keeps watch, marking the passage of time through his daughter's dancing. Soon he's watching her prepare for her high school prom and before long, her wedding, where he watches her dance with her new husband. The daughter's graceful movements have always been an inspiration to her father, but when he grows old and asks to see her dance one more time, we learn that he has been her inspiration to dance all along. This beautiful story shows that giving of oneself is the most precious gift.
