An elderly woman and her little grandson, whose face was sprinkled with bright freckles1, spent the day at the zoo. Lots of children were waiting in line to get their cheeks painted by a local artist who was decorating them with tiger paws.
一位老太太和她长满小雀斑的小孙子一块在动物园里游玩。不少孩子都在排队等候一位当地的艺术家用虎爪在他们的脸上着色。
Youve got so many freckles, theres no place to paint! a girl in the line said to the little fellow.
你脸上这么多雀斑，都没地方画了！队列中有个女生对小孩子说。
Embarrassed, the little boy dropped his head. His grandmother knelt down next to him. I love your freckles. When I was a little girl I always wanted freckles, she said, while tracing her finger across the childs cheek. Freckles are beautiful.
小孩子感到非常难堪，就低下头。奶奶蹲下来对他说：我喜欢你的雀斑，我小时候总想长这类雀斑呢，她爱抚着男生的脸颊，雀斑非常漂亮！
The boy looked up, Really?
男生抬起头，是不是真的？
Of course, said the grandmother. Why just name me one thing thats prettier than freckles.
当然是真的，奶奶说，你看我身上有哪些比雀斑还好看的？
The little boy thought for a moment, peered intensely into his grandmas face, and softly whispered, Wrinkles.
小孩子想了一下，又认真地注视着奶奶的面孔，小声地说：皱纹。
