All true language is incomprehensible,
like the chatter of a beggar's teeth.

Noah and T-Rex


Noah was holding this T-Rex Paper Animation Kit, came to me and said, “nǐ kěyǐ gēn wǒ zuò zhè gè ma ? bàba bù gēn wǒ zuò 。māma bù gēn wǒ zuò 。pópo bù gēn wǒ zuò.”

你可以跟我做这个吗? 爸爸不跟我做。妈妈不跟我做。婆婆不跟我做。

你可以跟我做這個嗎? 爸爸不跟我做。媽媽不跟我做。婆婆不跟我做。

Eng: Could you do this with me? Daddy didn’t want to do it with me. Mummy didn’t want to do it with me. Granny didn’t want to do it with me.

I was touched. How could I turn this little boy down? I was the one he tuned to when his family had “turned their backs on” him.

It was great fun making the craft. I was hooked after 10 minutes.
