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 questionI 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 e 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 nowTake 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.
