One day, 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, 1 you can just wait until we make a quick 2 at the supermarket. I have something interesting to show you."
At the supermarket, we 3 some apples——red, green and yellow ones. Back home, I told Adam, "It's time to 4 your question." I put one apple of each kind on the table. Then I looked at Adam, who had a 5look on his face.
"People are like apples. They come in all 6colors, shapes and sizes. On the 7, some of the apples may not even look as the others." As I was talking, Adam was 8 each one carefully.
Then, I took each of the apples and peeled(削皮) them, placing them back on the 9but in a different place. "Okay, Adam, tell me which is which."
He said, "I 10 tell. They all look the same now."
"Take a bite of 11 . See if that helps you 12 which one is which."
He took big bites, and then a big smile came across his face. "People are 13 like apples. They are all different, but once you 14 the outside, they're pretty much the same on the inside."
He totally 15 it. I didn't need to say or do anything else.
