最美的歌声

刘东伟

在茫茫东海之中,有一座岛国,岛上住着七八千人。

有一次,国王站在海边,望着万里碧空和盘旋飞翔的海鸥,放声歌唱起来。国王是个五音不全的人,他的歌声比拉锯还难听一百倍。

国王的歌音远远地传了出去,海鸥们一头扎了下来,鱼族都沉入了海底。国王问随行的大臣:“怎么会这样?”大臣们说:“国王的歌声美如天籁,已经到了沉鱼落雁的地步。”国王一听非常高兴,之后,每天都要来海边练声。

那天早上,国王的小女儿水晶公主来海边散步。海潮过去,沙滩上遗留了无数的贝壳,一个个亮晶晶地,在阳光下闪着耀眼的光芒。水晶公主欣喜地捡着,她捡起一个又一个,不一会儿,就捡满了布囊。

这时,水晶公主听到一声叹息在耳边响起。

“是谁在叹息?”水晶公主问。

“是我,我就在你的布囊里。”

水晶公主打开布囊,发现其中有一个扇贝,正忽闪着眼睛看着她。

“好漂亮的扇贝,是你在跟我说话吗?你为什么叹息,有什么忧伤吗?”

“是的,美丽的水晶公主。”

“你知道我的名字?”

“是啊,在附近的水族里,谁不知道你的名字呢?你的美丽和善良早就传遍了。”

“太好了,那我们成为好朋友好不好?”

“好是好,可是你有一个令人讨厌的父王,他的歌声太刺耳了,水族的兄弟姐妹们一看到他就躲得远远的。”扇贝叹道。

“是这样啊……唉,可是,父王听从了一个外地音乐使者的劝说,正在搞什么个人演唱会呢。”水晶公主叹息一声,她当然知道国王的声音难听了,可是在善良岛,谁也不敢指责国王。前几天,有几个大臣听了国王的歌声后发了一句牢骚,都被国王关进了大牢。从此,再也没人敢指责国王的歌声了。水晶公主心地善良,她知道那些大臣是被委屈的,所以去大牢地探望,想把他们救出来。可是大臣们说:“可爱的水晶公主,与其出去听国王那刺耳的歌声,还不如让我们关在大牢里幸福呢。”

水晶公主对扇贝说:“你跟我去看看吧,我一定会想法制止父王的。”说到这,水晶公主就回来了。

水晶公主回去时,看到王宫门前悬挂着大型的横幅,上面写着“个人演唱会”的字样,墙壁上贴满了海报,海报上国王手拿扩音喇叭,头像被夸张地放大,从他的嘴里吐住一串音符,下面是成千上万个人头。此时,王宫前人山人海,国民们正在等待国王出场。

终于,国王被几个亲信大臣和侍卫众星捧月般拥了出来,他在音乐使者的策划下,像一位国际明星,闪亮登场,频频向国民们挥手,喊道:“观众朋友们晚上好。”音乐使者忙在一旁提示:“国王,是上午。”国王赶紧改口:“大家上午好。”

音乐使者拿着扩音喇叭说:“尊敬的善良岛民们,今天,无所不能的国王要为我们奉献一场精彩的演唱会,下面让我们以隆重的掌声请国王上台,他为我们演唱的第一首歌是《大海啊,我们共同的故乡》。”话声一落,掌声如雷。音乐使者将扩音喇叭递给国王,国王咳嗽了一声,开唱了:“小时候,一个老婆婆对我们讲,大海是我们人类和水族的故乡,海边出生,岛上成长……”

刺耳的歌声通过扩音喇叭,向四下里传了过去,国民们晕倒了一片。后面的国民有人想逃离会场,被音乐使者拦住了,音乐使者恐吓说:“谁敢离开就是诋毁国王的歌喉,是要杀头的。”国民们不敢妄动了,只好忍受着。

国王见掌声如潮,非常高兴,一曲唱罢,对音乐使者说:“你的创意很好,本王重重有赏。”音乐使者趁机说:“国王可以收门票的,每人一两银子。”国王目光一亮:“对啊,既然国民们这么喜欢本王的歌声,现在就收。”

于是,国王让人举着箱子在人群中走动,凡是在场的国民,一人收取一两银子。收完,取出一份,交到音乐使者的手上:“这是你的报酬。”

音乐使者说:“尊敬的国王,既然你的歌声这么受欢迎,那就继续为国民们歌唱吧。”国王拿着扩音喇叭又唱上了。这次唱的歌曲叫《敢问善良在哪里》,是一首在善良岛广为流传的歌曲。

“你走在海角,我走在天涯,等待着日出,等待着晚霞,一个个春秋冬夏,一次次酸甜苦辣,敢为善良在哪里,它就在岛上,咱们的老家……”

国王一曲还没唱完,发现不但国民,连身边的大臣和音乐使者都晕倒了,而且一个个大口大口地呕吐。

国王问音乐使者:“你们都怎么了?”

“太美了,这是世间最美的歌声,我们实在太激动了。”音乐使者说。

“不,他们在撒谎。”这时,水晶公主走了上去,对国王说:“父王,收起你的虚荣之心吧,其实,你的歌声一点都不美。”

“什么?水晶,你说本王的歌声不美?”

“是啊父王,你的国民们怕你,所以不敢说实话,你的臣子们讨好你,所以不敢说实话,你的音乐使者想得到赏赐,所以在违心地欺骗你。”

“不,不会的。”国王询问周围的人:“本王的歌声美不美?”

“美,这是最美的歌声。”音乐使者带头呼应,周围的应声像海啸一般。

“不,他们在撒谎。”水晶公主说道。

“是你在撒谎。”国王大怒,让人把水晶公主关了起来。

坐在黑暗的大牢里,水晶公主只想哭,她倒不是为了自己的委屈,而是父王的愚昧和虚荣。这时,扇贝从她的怀里钻出来,说道:“水晶公主,你别伤心,我来帮你。”

“你怎么帮助我啊?”水晶公主问。

“你将我捧在掌心,我就会发出美丽的歌声。”

水晶公主将扇贝捧在了掌心,果然,那小小的扇贝就像一个八音盒,传出了美丽的歌声。声音远远地飘了出去,飘进了国王的耳朵里。国王顺着声音来到了大牢里。

“太美了,水晶,刚才是谁发出的声音?”

“是真正的音乐家。”

国王四处看了看,没有看到可疑的人,便问:“水晶,你觉得那歌声和父王的相比,谁的歌声更美?只要你说实话,本王就放了你。”

水晶公主说:“那你就听听自己的歌声吧。”说着,她将扇贝放在了国王的耳边。扇贝一张一合,将刚才记录下的国王的歌声从头至尾、原汁原味地回放了出来。

国王的脸色越来越难看,胃口越来越难受,终于大口大口地呕吐起来:“这……这真是本王唱的?”

“是的,父王,难道你糊涂的连自己的声音都分不清了吗?”

国王又仔细听了听,确认是自己唱的,不由得一阵懊悔,对水晶公主说:“我的乖女儿,本王错怪了你,都怪那些只会拍马屁的大臣,他们不敢说实话,才让本王看不到自己的弱点。”

“最可气的是那几个音乐使者。”

“对,对,本王一定要严惩他们。”

国王释放了水晶公主,并传令下去,所有吹捧过他的大臣一律降一级官职,减一年俸禄,又让人将音乐使者抓了起来。

执法官问:“国王,善良岛从来没有审判过外来的人,法律中也没有这样的条文,您说该怎么办?”

国王想了想说:“那就把他关上一个月吧。”

水晶公主一听,忙说:“父王,这样的惩罚太轻了。”

国王说:“不,在这一个月内,本王会让他天天欣赏‘最美的歌声’。”

The Three Lazy Ones
A king had three sons whom he loved equally well, and he did not know which of them to appoint as king following his own death. When the time came for him to die he called them to his bed and said, “Dear children, I have thought of something that I will reveal to you. The one of you is the laziest shall become king after me.” The oldest one said, “Father, then the kingdom belongs to me, for I am so lazy that whenever I lie down to sleep, and a drop falls into my eyes, I will not even close them so that I can fall asleep.” The second one said, “Father, the kingdom belongs to me, for I am so lazy that when I am sitting by the fire warming myself, I would rather let my heels burn up than to pull my legs back. “The third one said, “Father, the kingdom is mine, for I am so lazy that if I were going to be hanged and already had the rope around my neck, and someone put into my hand a sharp knife with which to cut the rope, I would let myself be hanged rather than to lift my hand up to the rope.” When the father heard this he said, “You have taken it the farthest and shall be king.”

自从丑小鸭生下来,人们就说它很丑。丑小鸭听到后感到伤心和难过,于是自己离开了群体,过起了流浪的生活。它走呀走,走到河边,水面上浮着三只美丽的白天鹅。小鸭一下子认出了那就是自己心中的偶像,它自从见到它们以后,再也不曾忘记。
丑小鸭坚定地说:“我要像白天鹅飞得一样高。”它们会因为我这么丑陋还敢接近它们而要弄死我的,但也没关系。即使被它们弄死,总

比被鸭子啄、被鸡叼、被猫奚落好得多,于是它就降落在水面上,向天鹅游去。
天鹅也向它靠拢过来。可怜的小鸭子把头垂下来等待受死,天鹅却毫无伤害它的意思。小鸭睁开眼睛,它在这清亮的水面上看到了自己的倒影,那不是一只粗笨的、深灰色的、又丑又令人讨厌的鸭子,而是一只真正的天鹅。
过去它因为自己的丑陋遭受了那么多的不幸和苦难,酸楚的心终于得到了豁解,现在它感到非常高兴,因为幸福和美向它招手。
小游客们向水上抛洒许多面包片,他们拍着手高声喊着:“你们看,那只新来的天鹅最漂亮。那么年轻,那么好看。人们也就跟着抛下了更多的面包和饼干。”
它感到非常羞愧,把头藏在翅膀里,不知如何是好。因为它太感动了,它感到太幸福了,可它一点也不自满,因为它永远不会忘记那些被迫害和讥笑的日子。它心里拨出一个快乐的声音:“当我还是一个丑小鸭的时候,我做梦也不曾想到今生会有这么幸福。”
丑小鸭变成了白天鹅,它既不自满,又不骄傲。我非常佩服它这一点
