醜小鴨
鴨媽媽在池塘邊孵蛋，不久後，鴨寶寶都誕生了，但只有 1 顆好大的蛋沒
有孵出來，鴨媽媽心想，這顆蛋可能要多孵幾次才能孵出來，過了沒多久，蛋
終於孵化了，結果小鴨們看到自己的弟弟孵出來的模樣七嘴八舌地說 :「怎麼那
麼醜？」「對呀！怎麼跟我們不一樣？」鴨媽媽叮嚀小鴨們：「無論他是否跟
你們不一樣，都是媽媽的心肝寶貝，不可以欺負他，知道嗎？」但是小鴨們完
全不聽媽媽的話，硬要欺負這個和牠們不一樣的弟弟，還給這小鴨取名為「醜
小鴨」，不只這樣，連鴨子親戚們都嫌醜小鴨長得太難看，要鴨媽媽把他趕走
儘管親戚們這麼說，鴨媽媽依然疼愛著醜小鴨。
醜小鴨不願看到媽媽難過，決定離開池塘，踏上他的流浪之旅。走著走著 ，
就在快要餓昏時，牠找到 1 間屋子，很有禮貌地上前敲門，這時走出 1 位老婆
婆，醜小鴨拜託老婆婆給他一點食物，老婆婆看醜小鴨很可憐，決定讓他在這
裡住，但到了晚上，老婆婆養的貓和母雞就來刁難醜小鴨說:「你會生蛋還是會
抓老鼠？如果什麼都不會，你就不可以在這白吃白喝。」醜小鴨沒有辦法，只
好離開老婆婆家繼續流浪，隔天醜小鴨來到 1 座湖泊，看見 1 群美麗優雅的天
鵝展開翅膀飛行，醜小鴨看到這幕景象羨慕地說:「如果我也可以這麼美麗，那
該有多好?」
結果，寒冷的冬天來臨，醜小鴨被凍在結冰的湖上，動彈不得便昏倒了，
後來被 1 位樵夫救起。到了樵夫家，醜小鴨看見樵夫的小孩走過來，醜小鴨以
為樵夫的小孩想要欺負牠，於是到處亂跑，把樵夫家弄得亂七八糟，樵夫的妻
子很生氣，便把牠趕出去，醜小鴨只好在湖邊的洞穴度過寒冬。到了隔天，溫
暖的春天來臨，醜小鴨走了出來，這時牠看見之前那幾隻天鵝，天鵝們想要過
來找醜小鴨，但這時醜小鴨又以為天鵝們想要欺負牠，拚命要跑走，結果牠看
見湖面上自己的身影，原來牠也變成天鵝了！醜小鴨其實是天鵝寶寶，不是鴨
子，醜小鴨非常高興，小時候長得太醜都沒有人願意跟他做朋友，而現在他終
於有朋友了。

潘朵拉的盒子
宙斯給了潘朵拉 1 個盒子，但是要求她不可以打開，但是潘朵拉不敵好奇
心的誘惑，還是偷偷地把盒子打開了，然而盒子裡裝的是許多不幸的事物，像
是疾病、禍害等。潘朵拉把盒子打開後，原本寧靜沒有任何災害的世界開始動
盪不安起來；慌亂中，潘朵拉趕緊蓋住盒子，結果盒內只剩「希望」沒飛出去
因此，即使人類不斷地受苦受難、生活中遭遇種種挫折和折磨，「希望」都不
會消失。
但有種說法是潘朵拉關住的應該是「預兆」，因為「預兆」這個災禍被困
在盒底，所以人類才擁有「希望」，而不致於活在絕望當中。如果潘朵拉關住
了「希望」，那麼人類世界應該是沒有「希望」而活在沒有前途、充滿了毀滅
的世界中，所有的「希望」僅僅是海市蜃樓的幻想。不過，還有種說法是，這
盒子裡除了裝有不幸的事物之外，同時也裝有幸福、友情、愛情等幸福的事物
所以潘朵拉在蓋上盒子時，才留住了「希望」。

狼來了
從前有 1 個放羊的男孩每天都會帶羊兒到山上吃草。因為日子每天都是這
樣過，所以他的腦子裡想到了 1 個解悶的方法。某天，他像往常一樣把羊兒帶
到山上吃草，突然，他大喊「狼來啦！狼來啦！」，但其實山上除了他和羊，
沒有任何其他動物，村民們信以為真，立刻把他們家的掃帚、木棍等等統統跑
去山上把狼趕走。當他們到了山上後發現並沒有狼，倒是男孩在那捧腹大笑還
說：「你們這麼這樣笨啊！我隨便說說你們就相信，真是笨！哈…哈…哈…」
其中 1 個村民生氣地說：「若你以後需要『幫助』請別再找我們了，我們很
忙！」。有 1 天，狼真的來了，男孩大喊「救命啊！救命啊！我可憐的羊兒被
狼吃掉了！快來呀！」村民們以為他又在騙人了，所以大家都當做沒有聽到，
結果男孩的羊就被狼給吃掉了。

酸葡萄
狐狸與葡萄（The Fox and the Grapes）是伊索寓言中的 1 則寓言。中文
的慣用語「酸葡萄心理」即源自此寓言。1 隻狐狸試圖去把長在樹上葡萄藤上
的 1 串葡萄拿下來，但試了多遍都不成功，於是就離開並怨恨地說：「那 1 串
葡萄是酸的！一點也不好吃！我才不希望吃到呢！」。
當 1 個人得不到自己想要的東西時，就會把那樣東西看得一文不值，以解
心中的嫉妒，是 1 種典型的心理防衛機制，以處理認知失調所帶來的心理壓力 。
在英語中，成語「酸葡萄」就來自這個寓言。它是指：想要得到 1 樣東西但得
不到，就否認它的價值。
