(For Lea, a child wearing makeup and lipstick looks unpleasant. Instead of making her beautiful, it ruins the natural purity of a child's face and gives it the look of worldliness and experience.)

Para kay Lea, maruming tingnan ang isang batang naka-make up at lipstick. Imbis na makaganda'y sinisira nito ang kalinisan ng isang batang mukha. Nilalagyan ng anyo ng kamunduhan at karanasan.
