One day, in an empty street, a man was selling balloons.He filled balloons of bright colours(red, blue, green) with helium and released them into the sky, hoping to attract people's attention. A young little African-American boy saw the balloons and went to the man. In filling the balloons with helium and releasing them, the man did not notice the little boy. The boy tugged his pocket. Thinking that the boy wanted to buy a balloon, he bent down beside him and held on to a balloon, intending to give it to the boy.
"Can black balloons fly too?"The boy suddenly asked the man.
The man, though not highly educated, knew what the boy meant.
He replied "It is not the colour of the balloon that determines whether it can fly, but it is the air that is filled inside it."
