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, 　　1　　 you can just wait until we make a quick 　　2　　 at the grocery store．I have something 　　3　　 to show you．”

　　At grocery store, we 　　4　　 some apples-red, green and yellow ones．Back home, I told Adam,“It’s time to 　　5　　 your question．”I put one apple of each 　　6　　 on the table．Then I looked at Adam, who had a 　　7　　 look on his face．

　　“People are like apples．They come in all 　　8　　 colors, shapes and sizes．On the 　　9　　, some of the apples may not 　　10　　 lood as the others．”As I was talking, Adam was 　　11　　 each one carefully．

　　Then, I took each of the apples and peeled(削皮)them, 　　12　　 them back on the table, but 　　13　　 a different place．

　　“Okay, Adam, tell me which is which．”

　　He said,“I 　　14　　 tell．They all look same now．”“Take a bite of 　　15　　．See if that helps you 　　16　　 which one is which．”

　　He took 　　17　　, and then a huge smile came cross his face．“People are 　　18　　 like apples!They are all different, but once you 　　19　　 the outside, they’re pretty much the same on the inside．”

　　He toally 　　20　　 it．I didn’t need to say or do anything else．

　　Once an Arab was traveling in the desert．When the sun went down in the west, he stopped and 　　1　　 his tent then, made a fire and have a 　　2　　 meal．When night fell, he 　　3　　 down to sleep．

　　He had 　　4　　 fallen asleep when he felt a soft 　　5　　 on his elbow(手肘)．He woke up to find that his camel had put his head inside the tent．The camel said：“Would you please let me keep my head in the tent to get warm? It is so cold outside．I will not take up too much 　　6　　．”

　　The Arab was a 　　7　　 man, “All right, do as you 　　8　　．” he said．Then he turned on his 　　9　　 and went back to sleep．

　　It wasn't long 　　10　　 he felt a push on his shoulder．It was the camel again．“Dear master,” the camel said, “my head is quite warm now, but my neck is still cold．Do you mind 　　11　　 I keep it inside the tent, too?”

　　“　　12　　．” the man said．But this time he felt a bit 　　13　　, as camel had such a long neck．

　　No sooner had he shut his eyes 　　14　　 he got a harder push in his side．This time the camel said, “will you please allow me to bring my front legs inside and warm then a little?”

　　The Arab 　　15　　 over to one side of the tent．He made 　　16　　 as small as he could．It was not 　　17　　 comfortable, and sleep was now out of 　　18　　．Soon after that the camel gave his a rough push and said, “The tent is too small for the two of us．　　19　　, my two hind legs are still left in the cold．It is only 　　20　　 that you should leave the tent wholly to me．” And with that, the camel kicked the poor man out．
