A grandmother and a little girl whose face was sprinkled with bright red freckles spent the day at the zoo. The children were waiting in line to get their cheeks painted by a local artist who was decorating them with tiger paws.
'You've got so many freckles, there's no place to paint!' a boy in the line cried.
Embarrassed, the little girl dropped her head. Her grandmother knelt down next to her. 'I love your freckles,' she said.
'Not me,' the girl replied.
'Well, when I was a little girl I always wanted freckles,' she said, tracing her finger across the child's cheek. 'Freckles are beautiful!'
The girl looked up. 'Really?'
'Of course,' said the grandmother. 'Why, just name me one thing that's prettier than freckles.'
The little girl peered into the old woman's smiling face. 'Wrinkles,' she answered softly.
一個祖母和一個臉上掛著鮮紅的雀斑小女孩在動物園里度過了一天。孩子們排著隊，等待當(dāng)?shù)氐乃囆g(shù)家用老虎爪子裝飾他們的臉頰。
“你的雀斑太多了，沒有地方畫畫了！”排隊的男孩喊著。
因為太尷尬了，小女孩低下了頭。她的祖母跪在她旁邊說“我喜歡你的雀斑?！?br />“可我不，”女孩回答說。
“我小時候總是想要雀斑，”她說，一邊用手指劃過孩子的臉頰。雀斑真的好美！
女孩抬起頭來。真的嗎？”
“當(dāng)然啦，”祖母說?！澳悄憬o我說一個比雀斑漂亮的東西?！?br />小女孩凝視著老婦人的笑臉。“皺紋，”她輕聲回答。
