母親在他面前畫了兩個火柴人公仔,一個拿着棍子,一個拿糖,再問阿漢,哪個是好人,哪個是壞人?他毫不猶豫的說,拿着棍子的是壞人,拿着糖的是好人。母親再問他,那麼,哪個是回教徒,哪個是印度教徒?阿漢茫無頭緒,說分辨不出來。母親說關鍵就是如此,做好事的就是好人,做壞事的就是壞人,是否回教徒或是印度教徒,無關宏旨。
母親﹕Remember one thing, son. There are only two kinds of people in this world. Good people who do good deeds. And bad people who do bad. That's the only difference in human beings. There's no other difference. Understood? What did you understand? Tell me. Tell me.
阿漢﹕Good people. Bad people. No other difference.
不錯,人與人之間,只有一處分別是重要的,那就是做好事還是做壞事,其他宗教、膚色、語言等分別,都無關宏旨。
