If you had seen Chin when he was born, you would have thought his skin yellow enough to suit anybody.But his mother wasn't satisfied, for the baby's nurse was told to rub him with a queer sort of paste from top to toe. This paste was made with saffron and oil, and had a pleasant odour. It made Chin's skin yellower and darker than ever.It did not seem to trouble him, however, for he closed his big brown eyes and went to sleep before the nurse had finished her work.
