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，26 you can just wait until we make a quick  27  at the grocery store. I have something  28  to show you.”
At the grocery store, we  29  some apples --- red, green and yellow ones. Back home, I told Adam, "It's time to  30  your question. " I put one apple of each  31  on the table. Then I looked at Adam, who had a  32  look on his face.
"People are like apples. They come in all  33  colors, shapes and sizes. On the  34  , some of the apples may not  35  look as delicious as the others." As I was talking, Adam was  36  each one carefully.
Then, I took each of the apples and peeled （削皮) them,  37   them back on the table, but  38  different place.
"Okay, Adam, tell me which is which. "
He said, "I   39   tell. They all look the same now. " "Take a bite of   40   . See if that helps you  41   which one is which.”
He took  42  , and then a huge smile came across his face. "People are  43  like apples! They are all different, but once you  44   the outside,  they're pretty much the same on the inside. "
He totally  45  it. I didn't' need to say or do anything else.
