One afternoon, my son Adam asked me,
"Are all people the same even though they are different in colour?"
It was a serious question. I1for
a while, and then said, "I'll explain it sooner. Let's go to a fruit shop.
I have something interesting
to show you."
At the fruit shop, we bought some apples in
different 2—red, green and yellow ones. After
we got home, I told Adam, "It's time to 3your
question now." I put one apple of each kind colour on the table. Adam 4them
carefully. He had a 5look on his face.
"People are like apples. They come in
all different colors, shapes and sizes. On the 6,
some of the apples may not even look as delicious as7."
While I was talking, Adam was8each one carefully. Then, I took each of
the apples and peeled(削皮) them, placing them back on the9,
but in a different place.
"Okay, Adam, tell me which is
which."
He said, "I10tell.
They all look the same now."
"Take a11of
each one. See if that helps you decide12one is which."
He took big bites, and then a huge smile
came across his face. "People are13like apples! They are all different, but once
you take off the outside, they're pretty much the14on
the inside."
He totally15it.
I didn't need to say or do anything else.
