The Epic Adventures of Huggie & Stick

 

The Epic Adventures of Huggie & Stick

(by Drew Daywalt)


看過母雞下蛋嗎?
白白亮亮還帶著溫度的蛋,
一顆一顆落在鋪好的稻草上,
蛋農們看了都樂呵呵,
尤其在這蛋顆顆金貴的年代。
不過你有看過小朋友「下蛋」嗎?
我天天看,他們各個是dropper,
有時跟在孩子後面走,還可以幫忙接住這些「蛋」,
鉛筆、橡皮擦、鉛筆盒、課本、習作、餐袋、外套......
族繁不及備載。
言歸正傳,
Reese今天放學照舊開開心心
背著背包、哼著歌、騎著腳踏車回家,
但是「開口的拉鍊」+「一個大窟窿」,
開啟了
絨毛玩偶Huggie和不知為何存在的樹枝Stick
倆環遊世界的史詩級旅程!
Huggie,一個負能量爆棚的悲觀主義者,
Stick,一個正能量破表的樂觀主義者,
一路從太平洋(廢輪胎)
→太平洋(海盜船)
→澳洲
→亞洲
→歐洲
→非洲
→大西洋
→南極洲
→南美洲
又回到北美洲Reese的背包,
性格南轅北轍的倆人,
描述共同的際遇,
竟有著相差十萬八千里的說法,
讓人看了不禁莞爾!

例如:

Stick: Best trip ever!
Huggie:Worst trip ever!
(可以學學相反詞?)

Stick:Today we were rescued by these nice guys in super awesome hats.
Huggie: Today we were captured by pirates.
(被救是事實,被俘虜也是事實)

Stick: A giant teddy bear tried to kiss me today. I think Huggie likes me more than he admits, because he got jealous and pulled me away before the teddy bear could kiss me.
Huggie: Today a giant panda tried to eat stick. That's what pandas eat, STICKS!...Unfortunately, the bear didn't appreciate me taking away his lunch....
(是不是應該跟Stick學學「修辭」?還是學學他那無可救藥的自我感覺良好?)

生活中有太多的苦悶事,
看看這本書,
跟著荒謬的劇情笑一笑,
也許阿Q一點,日子也會好過一些呢!

P.S作者寫過另外一本在台灣超級紅的書
《The day the crayons quit》蠟筆想回家
插圖是Oliver Jeffers,
也可以順便再拿起來複習讀一讀!
