Some curious children see a crowd waiting for a man. He looks familiar and they recall seeing him carrying a red box everywhere he goes. What could be so precious they wondered as they waited for a chance to steal the box. After some twists and turns they finally managed to open the box. Alas! Its content is far from what they had imagined it to be.
The man explains to the confused children that the red box holds his dreams. Will the children understand what big dreams he had and be inspired to work hard for their own dreams too?
This story is inspired by Singapore's first Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew and his red box which he used while he was in political office. It has become a symbol of his unwavering passion for and dedication to Singapore.
