這次不用解釋了吧?!

《自己的顏色》

我們這一代的人從小到大就被綁在別人的期望裡。記得我們有個教育學老師在教室測了一下我們的「從眾性」：

「下很小很小的毛毛雨，看別人打傘會跟著打傘的請舉手？」
結論是：「很符合統計！根據統計，有百分之八十六的人都有「從眾性」的行為。」

忘了當時是什麼反應，可是我自己很清楚，我一定是那一個打傘的傢伙，起碼在四十歲以前是這樣！

第一次讀這本書笑到差點摔倒！原來「從眾」也是好的！（廢話！Birds of a
feather flock together! 那只是自衛自保的行為而已。基因作怪呀！你以為列祖列宗都是白混的？！）

好吧！假如我是白子，我一定可以懂得的！假如我是白子，也許我也會像
Sibilas一樣被利用，每天苦修、鞭笞自己！假如我是白子，也許我也會加入追戰藍登和蘇菲的行列…（喂！你講到哪裡去了？回來！回來！）我是說，身在大眾不知小眾苦！

好吧！原來變色龍是有苦楚的！他想要定色也沒辦法呀！要怪他的祖宗八代嗎？眾生真是苦啊！

(里歐尼的變色龍長了這麼可愛的眼睛!!!和 JB 畫的眼睛有異曲同工之妙呀!)

A Color of Its Own
By Leo Lionni

Elephants are gray. Goldfish are red. Parrots are green. Pigs are pink.

All animals have a color of their own, except chameleons. They change color
wherever they go.

On lemons they are yellow. In the heather they are purple. And on the tiger
they are striped like tigers.

One day a chameleon who was sitting on a tiger’s tail said to himself,
”If I remain on a leaf I shall be green forever, and so I too, will have a color
of my own.” With this thought he cheerfully climbed onto the greenest leaf.

But in autumn the leaf turned yellow—and so did the chameleon. Later the leaf turned red, and the chameleon, too, turned red. And then the
winter winds blew the leaf from the branch and with it the chameleon.

The chameleon was black in the long winter night. But when spring came, he
walked out into the green grass. And there he met another chameleon.

He told his sad story.
“Won’t we ever have a color of our own?” he asked.

“I’m afraid not,” said the other chameleon, who was older and wiser.
“But,” he added, “Why don’t we stay together? We will still change color
wherever we go, but you and I will always be alike.”
