as he was trying to open a picture message

that his granddaughter had sent.

I took a look at his phone

which was a really old Nokia.
原来是一个款式十分古早的诺基亚
As he didn’t have a smart phone
由于他没有智能手机
I told him that he wouldn’t be able to view it.
我告诉他,他看不到这张图片
He was gutted
他十分沮丧
and went on to tell me
又告诉我
that it was a photo of his granddaughter and her new baby
那是他孙女的照片
who he hadn’t seen yet
他还没有见过小重孙
as they live in another city.
因为他们住在另一个城市
So,
于是
I forwarded the message to my phone

and you could see his love for them both through his teary eyes.
从他含着眼泪的眼睛,你可以看到他对母子两人的爱意

to treat my daughter to a toy

as a thank you for helping him,

which I insisted I didn’t want,

but he was having none of it.
但他执意如此
So, I asked him to wait there
于是,我请他等我一下
and I went to boots and printed the photo for him
用一个程序为他把图片打印出来
and ended up buying a frame for it too.
随后又为这张照片买了一个相框
When I returned with the framed photo,
当我带着装裱好的照片回到他身边时
he was so happy,
他开心极了
literally overwhelmed .
简直是喜不自胜
This just made my day to make someone so happy.
