One afternooon, my son came home from school and asked me, “ Are all people the same even if their skin is different?” I thought for a moment, then I said, “ I’ll explain. Let’s go to a fruit store first. I have something interesting to show you.”

“ Adam, people are just like apples. They come in different colors, shapes and sizes. See, some may not even look as delicious as others.” As I was talking, Adam was examining each one carefully.

“ Ok, Adam, tell me which one is the red apple, the green apple and the yellow apple.” He said, “I can’t tell. They all look the same now.”
“Take a bite of each one. See if that helps you tell which one is which.”
He took big bites, and then a huge smile came across his face. “People are just like apples! They are all different, but if you take off the outside, they’re pretty much the same on the inside.”
