One afternoon, my son A dam 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, 36_ you can just wait until we make a quick 37_ at th grocery store. I have something 38 to show you. ”
At the grocery store, we 39 some apples — red, green and yellow ones. Back home, I told Adam, “It’s time to 40_ your question.” I put one apple of each 41 on the table. Then I looked at Adam, who had a 42 look on his face.
“People are like apples. They e in all 43_colors, shapes and sizes. On the 44,some of the apples
may not 45 look as the others. ” As I was talking, Adam was 46 each one carefully.
Then, I took each of the apples and peeled (削皮）them, 47 them back on the table, but 48_ a different place.
“Okay, Adam, tell me which is which”
He said, “I 49_ tell. They all look same now. ” Take a bite of 50_. See if that helps you 51_ which one is which
He took a 52 . and then a huge smile came across his face.. ’’People are 53_ likeapples!They arealldifferent, but once you 54_ the outside, they’re pretty much the same on the inside. ”
He totally 55_ it. I didn’t need to say or do anything else.
