One Sunday afternoon, my son Perfect 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, ___21___ you can just wait until we make a quick ___22___ at the grocery store. I have something ___23___to show you. ”

At the grocery store, we ___24___some apples—red, green and yellow ones. Back home, I told Adam, “It’s time to ___25___your question. ” I put one apple of each ___26___ on the table. Then I looked at Adam, who had a ___27___ look on his face.

“People are like apples. They come in all ___28___ colors, shapes and sizes. On the ___29___, some of the apples may not ___30___ look as the others. ” As I was talking, Adam was ___31___ each one carefully.

Then, I took each of the apples and peeled(削皮) them, ___32___ them back on the table, but ___33___ a different place.

“Okay, Adam, tell me which is which…”

He said, “I ___34___ tell. They all look same now.” “Take a bite of ___35___. See if that helps you ___36___ which one is which. ”

He took ___37___, and then a huge smile came cross his face...” People are ___38___ like apples! They are all different, but once you ___39___ the outside, they’re pretty much the same on the inside.”

He totally ___40___ it. I didn’t need to say or do anything else.
