child says each one

Aninha was already two years old. Beautiful blonde. I had never cut my hair. They were golden yellow and curly. “It looked like a little baroque angel,” says the owl mother.

There one day, the mother takes a huge pair of scissors and decides to treat the child's head, because the melenas were already on the shoulders. She calls the girl, who arrives wary, looking at the glittering scissors.

– Mom is going to cut Aninha's hair.

– Aninha looks at the scissors, she gets scared.

– I don't want, I don't want, I don't want!!!

– It doesn't hurt at all…

– I don't want to!, she already said.

And run away. The mother runs after. With scissors in hand. With great effort, she manages to get her daughter out from under the bed, crying, fearing the worst. She consoles her daughter. They sit on the bed. She takes a break. The girl stops crying. But, she doesn't take her eye off the scissors.

– Look, my love, Mom promises to cut only two little fingers.

Aninha opens both hands, already submissive, starts crying, asking, looking at the huge scissors and at her own little hand:

– Which ones, mother?
