從前的故事是這樣說的。三個年輕的兄弟出海捕漁遇到暴風雨,漂流到無人的小島上。海島中央有一座大山,那天夜裡神出現在三兄弟前,叫他們把一塊大石滾上山,石頭停下的地方就是他們生活的地方。越往高處去,眺望到的風景便越遠。
石頭又大又重,要滾動十分吃力,何況要推上山坡。最小的弟弟先叫苦說︰「兩位哥哥,我到這裡便好了,這裡近海邊,又可以捕魚,已經夠我生活了,看不到更遠的世界也沒有所謂。」
兩位哥哥繼續向山上前進。可是到山腰的時候,到老二叫苦了︰「大哥,我到這裡便好了。這兒有豐富的水果,夠我生活了,看不到更遠的世界也沒有所謂。」
大哥繼續向山坡前進,路變得越來越險峻,可是他決心要看世界看得遠一點。於是他費盡氣力,耗費了好幾個月,總算把石頭推上山頂。那個地方,既沒有長草,也沒有飛鳥,水份不多,只能舔到冰霜和啃青苔。不過他沒有後悔,因為他眺望到最遠的世界。聽說在那個島上,現在剩下一塊又圓又大的石頭,孤伶伶地留在山頂上。
Hi Miss Lee,
回覆刪除Could you please explain to me the main issue of After Dark, as I could not figure it out? All the mountain left was the big piece of stone. So none of the brother got anything at the end. The eldest brother supposed to be the best as he was able to look at the world from the top of the mountain, but what did he get at the end;except worked very hard to push the stone to the mountain top. To survive, he had to walk from the top of the mountain to half way of it to get fruit, and all the way from the top to the foot of the mountain to get fish from the sea. What's the use of looking at the world knowing everything, but nothing to eat? Afterall the mountain is bear, except the big piece of stone! Please enlighten me by explaining the story of After Dark! Thank you. MM
This is not a riddle, my dear!!
回覆刪除現實與理想,從來是很兼顧的。
回覆刪除又或,如蘇格拉底向柏拉圖解說什麼是愛情,甚麼是婚姻。
現實不容理想,我想通了。理想只是夢裡小小的溫存,卻愈發覺得自己可悲。
