“Grandfather, this ear of corn is very special.”
“And, why is this ear so special?” I asked.
“This ear of corn has only one red kernel,
the rest of the kernels are blue, white
and yellow.”
“You are right, and why is this so special?” I asked.
“The red kernel is you and you are different
from the other kernels. You are
different.”
“Where are you on this ear of corn?” I inquired.
“I am a blue kernel.” (And, she showed me which one.)
“Why are you a blue kernel, not red like me? I questioned.
“Because you are different.” (Then she
smiled and gave me that look that told me
that she knew something that I didn’t know
about.)
