"Dreams? We don't have any dreams."
I said, "Well, when you were a kid, what happened? Wasn't there something you wanted to do?"
One woman said to me, "I don't know what you can do with dreams. The rats are eating my kids."
"Oh," I said, "that's terrible! No. Of course you're very much involved with the rats and your kids. How can that be helped?"
"Well, I could use a new screen door, because there are holes in my screen door."
I asked, "Is there anybody around you who knows how to fix a screen door?"
"Maybe I can have a try," a man said.
The next week when the group was seated, I said to the woman, "Well, is your screen door fixed?"
"Oh, yes," she said.
"Then we can start dreaming, can't we?"
我問他們夢(mèng)想是什么。大家卻都以一種古怪的表情看著我?!皦?mèng)想?我們沒有夢(mèng)想。”
我說:“好的。那么你還是個(gè)孩子的時(shí)候發(fā)生過什么?那時(shí)難道就沒有什么你想要做的事情嗎?”
一位婦女說:“我不知道你可以用夢(mèng)想解決什么問題。我只知道我的孩子正在一口一口的被老鼠吃掉?!?“哦,”我說,“真是太恐怖了。不,當(dāng)然。你的確被這些老鼠和孩子所累。怎樣做才能阻止這種事情的發(fā)生呢?”
“唉,我家紗門上都是洞,我需要一個(gè)新的紗門。”
“在座的各位,有誰會(huì)裝紗門?”我問、
“或許我可以試試?!币晃荒惺空f道。
下周五,大家又坐到一起時(shí),我問哪位女士,“新紗門裝好了嗎?”
“噢,是的?!彼鸬馈?“那么,我們可以開始?jí)粝肓耍瑢?duì)不對(duì)?”她看著我,笑得很開心。
