An elderly woman and her little grandson, whose
face was sprinkled with bright freckles, 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.
"You've got so many freckles, there's no place to
paint!" a girl in the line said to the little
fella.
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 child's cheek. "Freckles
are beautiful!" The boy looked up, "Really?" "Of
course," said the grandmother. "Why just name me
one thing that's more beautiful than freckles."
The little boy thought for a moment, peered
intensely into his grandma's face, and softly
whispered, "Wrinkles."
