"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.
