一天下午,我的儿子问我:肤色不同的人是不是都是一样的?我想了一会儿,对儿子说:我们先很快去水果店买水果回来,然后我演示给你这个问题的答案。我们在水果店里买了各种各样的苹果——有红的,绿的,黄的等等。回到家,我从每个颜色的苹果中拿出一个,放在桌子上,儿子好奇地看这我,我说:人们就象这些苹果,他们出身于不同的颜色和大小,从外观上看,有些苹果不像其他的苹果那样诱人。说着,我将每个苹果削了皮,重新将削好的苹果打乱顺序放在桌子上,然后我问儿子:现在你能辨认出那个是原来的那个。儿子说:我辨别不出来,它们看上去都一样。我说:人们就象苹果,从外观上它们各不相同,但从内容上看,它们是相同的。通过现身说法,我的儿子知道了问题的答案。
