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.

祖母和一个小女孩的脸上撒上鲜红的雀斑在动物园度过了一天。
孩子们在排队等候他们的脸颊上画了一位当地的艺术装饰用老虎爪子。
“你脸上这么多雀斑,有没地方画了!“一个男孩在哭了。
不好意思,小女孩把她的头。她的祖母跪在她旁边。“我喜欢你的雀斑,”她说。
“不是我,”小女孩回答说。
“嗯,当我还是个小女孩的时候我总想长这些雀斑呢”她说,跟踪她抚摸着男孩的脸颊。“雀斑很漂亮!”
女孩抬起头。“真的吗?“当然,”祖母说。“为什么,看我身上有什么比雀斑还漂亮。”
小女孩凝视着老妇人的笑脸。“皱纹,”她轻声回答。
