“Dad, my friend told me that every snowflake is 36 . But they look all the same to me. How can we tell?” the child asked.
Dad felt it was his 37 to give a more satisfying answer. “Son, snowflakes are like people. We are each 38 in a very special way. We can test it right now,” he said.

Dad was shocked. He stood up, lifted the boy and 54 him tightly, whispering to him, “I hope that your world will learn to work and live together. I hope you will make the right 55
