Saturday morning here in Chihuahua,I was helping a friend to install a few gizmos in his new cafeteria. The entire kitchen staff are women. and I must appear as a giant to some of them.
As I was installing a particular part , One of the women told me.
"Los perfumes finos vienen en frascos pequeños"
The translation is easy enough,
but what did she mean?

Even though we are small and you are "like a giant", we are fine and sweet, like an elegant perfume in a small bottle.

Expensive perfume is held in small bottles.
Short people should not feel their height is a disadvantage, they have other potentials. 
I have another one:
Tall people are the servants of short people.
