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, ________ you can just wait until we make a quick ________ at the grocery store. I have something ________ to show you.”
At the grocery store, we ________ some apples—red, green and yellow ones. Back home, I told Adam, “It’s time to ________ your question.” I put one apple of each ________ on the table. Then I looked at Adam, who had a ________ look on his face.
“People are like apples. They come in all ________ colors, shapes and sizes. On the ________, some of the apples may not ________ look as delicious as the others.” As I was talking, Adam was ________ each one carefully.
Then, I took each of the apples and peeled (削皮) them, ________ them back on the table, but ________ a different place.
“Okay, Adam, tell me which is which.”
He said, “I ________ tell. They all look the same now.” “Take a bite of ________. See if that helps you ________ which one is which.”
He took ________, and then a huge smile came across his face. “People are ________ like apples! They are all different, but once you ________ the outside, they’re pretty much the same on the inside.”
He entirely ________ it. I didn’t need to say or do anything else.
