彩虹．繪本．e想世界

★內容簡介：

灰衣巫婆有兩棟房子，一棟在幸福森林裡，是用糖果和餅乾蓋成的漂亮房子；另外一棟則在她的心裡，不過這棟房子可能沒有糖果和餅乾，或許還佈滿灰塵蜘蛛網，長年沒有開啟的大門早就生鏽無法使用了。灰衣巫婆不喜歡和人來往，所以當小矮人家族搬進幸福森林時，她簡直要抓狂了，於是派出了毛毛蟲和八哥鳥大軍去破壞小矮人的生活。沒想到，他們全都被小矮人的快樂給「傳染」了。正當灰衣巫婆無計可施時，她決定派出最忠實的黑貓去搞破壞。但小黑貓有意無意地把巫婆引進了廚房，故事的轉捩點出現了…

★Introduction of THE GRAY WITCH:

★愛的導讀

 其實每個人的心裡都有一棟虛構的房子，有的人大開心門，歡迎身邊的人在他的心裡駐足停留；但有些人卻心門深鎖，即使有人來敲門也裝作沒聽見。就像灰衣巫婆一樣，不喜歡和人來往，所以當小矮人家族搬進幸福森林時，他們唱歌跳舞的聲音，聽在巫婆耳裡有如魔音穿腦，讓她吃不下也睡不著。於是派出了毛毛蟲和八哥鳥大軍，去破壞小矮人的生活。沒想到，他們全都被小矮人的快樂給「傳染」了。正當灰衣巫婆無計可施時，她走進了廚房，看到了媽媽最喜歡的那句話：「你願意人怎麼待你，你也要怎麼待人。」

 孩子在成長的過程中，也常常會遇到類似的困境，在學校裡得不到同儕的情感支持或鼓勵。當他們因為這些事情而沮喪時，不妨先問問孩子：「你希望別人怎麼對你呢？」希望加入遊戲的小團體，坐著等對方來邀請，不如自己主動提出；希望別人釋出善意，那麼就不要吝嗇先付出自己的微笑。

 五彩繽紛的糖果屋和灰沉沉的巫婆是一個對比，沒有朋友、沒有歡笑的糖果屋，再華麗也只是一個空殼。故事的最後，灰衣巫婆換上了美麗的衣裳，烤了一個蛋糕送給小矮人，蛋糕糖果屋代表了巫婆心裡的那個小房子：「我打開心門了喔！歡迎你們的光臨！」

★The Moral of THE GRAY WITCH:

There is a fictional house in everybody’s heart. Some people’s hearts are open and they always welcome other people to stay in their hearts. But other people’s hearts are always closed, even when people are knocking, they pretend not to hear anything. This is just like the Gray Witch, who doesn’t like to socialize. So when a family of dwarfs moves into the happy forest, the sounds they make when they sing and dance is an unpleasant noise to the Gray Witch’s ears. She can neither eat nor sleep, so she sends armies of caterpillars and myna birds to sabotage the dwarfs’ life of fun. But, she never expected that her armies would become “infected” by the dwarfs’ happiness.

When children are growing up, they often encounter similar difficulties. That is, they don’t get the emotional support or encouragement from their peers at school. If they are depressed because of these things, you can ask them, “How do you hope people will treat you?” If you want to join a group to play games you should ask instead of just sitting there and waiting for an invitation to play. If you hope people will treat you well, then don’t be shy about smiling first.
