I Love You Including You Freckles

 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 and said, "Really?" "Of course," said the grandmother who took out a piece of replica watch with a lot of rust, "Look at this rusted watch. If you just saw its brand – Gucci, you will think it’s pretty. If you saw its rust, it is ugly. If you saw its quality, it’s an exact replica Gucci watch. In my eyes, you are kind and lovely so I will love you including your freckles” The little girl peered into the old woman's smiling face.
