What warmed my heart today ...

Snowylass came across mention of 《弟子规》 from reading one of the entries in a compilation of primary school students Chinese compositions and asked me what it was.

I explained it to her and even mentioned that I did a translation of it for a publication.

The wide eyed admiration in her eyes when she saw the printed copy of the book, translated by her D-A-D, is incomparable.

I hastily reminded her not to go and tell the whole world about it ... after all ... I didn't do it for the fame ...

And yeah, of course it's just one book, but I'll tell her that some other day.
