Freckles
An elderly woman and her little grandson, whose face was sprinkled with bright freckles, spent the day by the zoo. The giraffes were so tall like a building and the elephants were massive like a ship.
Lots of children were waiting in the line to get their cheeks painted by a local artist who was decorating their faces with different animal fur, stripes and spots.
“You've got so many freckles! There's no place to paint!” said the little girl in the line behind the boy. Embarrassed, he dropped his head. His grandmother knelt down in front of him. “Oh darling, I love your freckles. When I was a young girl, I always wanted to have these lovely freckles” she said while tracing the brown dots on the child's cheeks.
“Freckles are lovely?” the child lifted his head “Really?”
“Of course, you should be proud that you have those because you're unique,” she said, cheering him up.” Thank you grandma,” he said as his face lit up.
“I bet you can't name me one thing that's prettier than freckles” The boy smiled sweetly as a thought popped into his mind as he looked up at his grandma. ”Wrinkles!” he said with a warm smile
