"You are a very special boy. Your country has a great history. Be proud of your roots."
"Mother, I don't want to be different." Chi-Yin picked up
his glass and looked through it. Everything was blue again.
“The world is interesting because people are different.
Remember that, my son." Chi-Yin's mother took the glass
from the table. "Be proud of who you are and where you
come from. Because you are different, you are special."
Chi-Yin sat at the table in silence. He thought about his
mother's words. "I will remember, Mother. I'll try hard
to remember."
Chi-Yin smiled. "It was like colors," he thought. "A
rainbow of different colors was more beautiful than a
rainbow of just blue."

Do you think Chi-Yin’s mother gave him good advice? Why or why not?
