美丽的丑小鸭 The Ugly Swan

那天,我妈对我说:‘你变成美丽的天鹅了,爸比妈咪都放心了。看着你以前,个子小小,怕人怕事,对自己没自信。现在还会交朋友,我们也感到欣慰。

我说:‘huh?还不是一样。以前担心什么?

妈咪说:‘4个孩子里面,最没有自信的就只有你,人都不多认识几个,整天就只藏在家里。爸比妈咪觉得你好可怜,好担心。

丑小鸭真的会变天鹅吗?蜕变了的外表,不能只是个掩护吗?几层厚厚的保护层的确满令人有安全感的。但,是不是包得太厚,太多层了呢?

大家似乎真的发觉不到丑小鸭的心态与性格哦。说变就变,真的有那么容易吗?我一直都这样问我自己。

当然,这不能怪别人,要变成天鹅,自然的就得穿上天鹅的服装,表露天鹅的优美姿态,然人觉得你一直以来都是只天鹅。

可是,真的有那么重要吗?为什么丑小鸭不能永远当丑小鸭呢?很失礼吗?难道,我变成了天鹅,就真的是天鹅了吗?或许我本来就是个丑小鸭,而永远都只是个丑小鸭呢?

That day my mom told me : you no longer the ugly duckling. We are so glad about that. When you was young, tiny little you was afraid of everything, have no self confidence at all. Now you are not the same anymore, and you have friends!

I replied :erm, what do you worry about? I think everything are still the same

My mom said, 4 of you guys, you are the only one who have no confidence at all. You don’t make friends, always stay at home. We felt symphaty and worried.

Have I really change? the undergo metamorphosis of the physical cannot be the reason of covering myself? Yet, the protections make me feels lot more secure. But, will that be too much?

It seems that everyone did not notice the real attitude. Is that really easy to change? I always throw this question to myself.  

Of course this cannot blame others, because to be a swan. I will have to act and behave like a swan (think of the ballet dance – The Swan)to make people feel that I am the swan.

But, is that really important? I mean, why can’t I be the ugly ducking forever? And if I have become the swan? Does that mean I really became a swan? Or till the end of the day, I’m still the small ugly duckling?
