Señor Jaime, said little Moquetin, a bright-eyed imp of six, why is it that your face is always red? Jim countered, Why is it that your face is always brown? Because it is much prettier that way, was the unexpected reply.
In a light-hearted exchange, a young boy named Moquetin questions Señor Jaime about the redness of his face. This playful inquiry reveals the candidness of children, as Moquetin’s curiosity about Jaime's appearance leads to a humorous back-and-forth. Jaime retorts with a question of his own, which prompts Moquetin to reflect on his complexion.
Moquetin's response highlights a child's innocence and understanding of beauty, as he confidently states that his brown face is prettier. This interaction captures not only the charm of childhood but also the natural perspective children have towards differences in appearances, suggesting a deeper message about acceptance and self-identity.
