One afternoon，my son Adam asked me, "Are all people the same even if they are different in color?"
I thought for a minute, and then I said, "I'll explain，
26 you can just wait until we make a quick
27 at the grocery store. I have something
28 to show you.”
At the grocery store, we
29 some apples --- red, green and yellow ones. Back home, I told Adam, "It's time to
30 your question. " I put one apple of each
31 on the table. Then I looked at Adam, who had a
32 look on his face.
"People are like apples. They come in all
33 colors, shapes and sizes. On the
34 , some of the apples may not
35 look as delicious as the others." As I was talking, Adam was
36 each one carefully.
Then, I took each of the apples and peeled （削皮) them,
37 them back on the table, but
38 different place.
"Okay, Adam, tell me which is which. "
He said, "I
39 tell. They all look the same now. " "Take a bite of
40 . See if that helps you
41 which one is which.”
He took
42 , and then a huge smile came across his face. "People are
43 like apples! They are all different, but once you
44 the outside, they're pretty much the same on the inside. "
He totally
45 it. I didn't' need to say or do anything else.
