When Alice was a baby of 3.5 year old, she was always too excited to sleep in the evening, so I always told some fair tales while patting her buttocks gently. Her favorite story was the Princess Snow White, and if I want to let her accept anything, I always use story of Snow White too. It worked perfectly!
But one day, Alice told me, she just could not sleep, and she was going to tell me a fair tale instead. I was surprised to hear this. But I accepted her suggestion gladly.
"Long long ago," she began her fair tale telling," There was a very beautiful princess named Snow White, " she was so serious that she even did not see my smile.
"The Snow White was very beautiful, her face was as white as the snow, her hair was as dark as the cloud, and her lips were as red as flower..." I was so glad to see she can use such accurate words in her age.
"but day by day, Snow White become ugly, for she did not listen to her mother, she did not eat fruits and vegetale..." she kept her story telling, but I almost could not help my laughing.
"What happen finally?" I tred to control myself not to laugh.
"Later, Snow White found her become pretty again after she eat all kinds of food, and her face become whiter and whiter, her hair become longer and darker, and then the hair on her arms all gone away!' she said eargerly.
"Hahaha..." I could not control my laughter at last.
For my daughter has an annoyance, her the hair on her body and arms, she was born with thick hair, even on her ears. But I thought was oK, and the hair would drop off one day. But I really have no idea she care about it so much.
My cute angel Alice, god bless you!
