Sally is a little girl, she lives (居住) with her mother, father and brother.

One day after school Sally runs to her mom, “Mom! What is diversity (多样性)?” asks Sally. Mom thinks and says, “You are from the UK, but your friend Jane is from the USA, you are from different places (不同的地方). I have red hair (头发), but you have brown hair. You are a girl, but your brother Leo is a boy. You are both children but different. You are 8. Leo is 13 and I’m 37. We are of different ages (年龄). You like the color purple but your brother likes the color red. Your favorite (最喜爱的) colors are different...”.

“Oh, Mom. I see!” Sally says, “Things are different and that is diversity.”

Sally likes being different. She thinks it is fun.
