我與兒女又掀起了一個寫作的高潮

女兒十分的愛好寫作，大概從十一二歲開始，就長篇的寫故事，在她朋友中間傳閱。兒子受姐姐影響，愛閱讀，但不愛動手寫。 偶爾看見他寫的小習作，其實也很不錯。有一段時間，大概七八歲時，受到哈瑞帕特爾的影響，他還寫過一些探險故事. 後來大了，反而越來越懶， 不愛動筆了。昨天聽到我從姐姐學校回來與老師的談話後，兒子說，他與同學合作的寫作項目， 其中他負責寫一篇小品，他們還要表演呢。看見兒子與女兒一唱一和的，女兒鼓勵弟弟多寫，說：你也有寫作的才能呢，媽媽，他的人物對話多麽傳神，反映了人物的特定性格。聽著女兒的精辟評論， 又看著平常懶惰的兒子，也在像模像樣的寫起來；姐弟兩人還排練，姐姐幫弟弟描繪各種可能的結局。我坐在兒女身邊， 倒像個無憂無慮的幼兒一般， 盡情的欣賞著，貪婪的吮吸著這美妙的景象。腦袋一熱，又向兒女宣戰：我們家來個寫作高潮，怎麽樣？女兒不怕，早說過隻要一部手提電腦，就可走到哪寫到哪。可懶惰的兒子卻不那麽好對付，這不，又來了： 那你們倆要每天陪我打籃球。本來極不情願的女兒也隻好一口答應：好，隻要你寫。請看我那十一歲的兒子用一晚上寫出來的小品，今天一回來就向我回報：媽媽，我們的表演與協作一起，得了A+. 我隨即鼓勵說：兒啊，早說了，你真是有寫作的才華啊！

PANDORA'S BOX
...
Pandora- First woman on earth; the Greeks' reason why there’s hate, envy, ect. in the world.
...
Zeus- King of Gods
...
Hephaestus- God of fire and blacksmithing
...
Narrator- Person telling the story
...
Aphrodite- Goddess of Love Epimetheus- Pandora’s Husband
...
Prometheus- Creator of humans ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Narrator- In this myth, Zeus was very angry with Prometheus for tricking him. He was also angry with the humans since they thought they could be as powerful as the gods. Ah, here’s Zeus now.
...
Zeus- (mumbling to himself) Grrr… Blast that Prometheus. Defying me over and over again. Ah well, he’s been dealt with already, now how should I punish the humans.
...
Narrator- Maybe you could…?
...
Zeus- Quiet! I’m trying to think. Ah (snaps his fingers) I’ve got it. Hephaestus!
...
Hephaestus runs in.
...
Hephaestus: Yes, father?
...
Zeus- I need you to make me a woman.
...
Hephaestus- A woman, sir?
...
Zeus- Yes, a woman. More beautiful then Aphrodite, but not enough to make jealous.
...
Hephaestus- Yes sir, I’ll get right to it.
...
As Hephaestus leaves Zeus smiles devilishly.
...
Zeus- Now… this will show those humans the gods will not to be trifled with.
...
Narrator- Ingenious, sir. This plan-
...
Zeus- Quiet!
...
Once Hephaestus finished making the woman he presented her to the other gods and goddesses.
...
Hephaestus- (proudly) This is Pandora!
...
Aphrodite- (while putting jewels on Pandora) Oh, so you gave her a name already?
...
Zeus- (trying to get through the crowd of gods and goddesses) Coming through! Ah, Hephaestus, she looks wonderful.
...
Hephaestus: (beaming) Thank you, sir.
...
Aphrodite: (whispering to another goddess) You know, if Zeus didn’t need Pandora, I would strike her out of Mt. Olympics now for looking as good as me.
...
Zeus- Now, Pandora…
...
Silence.
...
Zeus- Errr… Does she talk?
...
Hephaestus: Right! The voice box. Sorry, I forgot about that. (Runs and gets voice box. Puts it in.) Ah, there we go.
...
Zeus- Errr… Okay, Now... Pandora?
...
Pandora- Yes sir?
...
Zeus- Well, since pretty much everybody else here gave you presents, I presume I should too.
...
Pandora- Thank you.
...
Zeus- No problem. (Hands her a box.)
...
Pandora- Sir? What is this?
...
Zeus- Just a box, but you must not open it.
...
Pandora- Why not?
...
Zeus- Just don’t.
...
Pandora- But…
...
Zeus- Quiet!
...
Narrator- The next day, when Pandora was sent down to earth, she was quickly accepted into the world. Due to her beauty, she found a husband quickly. His name was Epimetheus. Now one day, when Epimetheus was out of the house, she was lying down staring longingly at the box. Thankfully, Epimetheus came in before she could open it.
...
Epimetheus- What do you think you’re doing!
...
Pandora- (startled) I-I was j-just-
...
Epimetheus- Don’t you remember Zeus’ warning?
...
Pandora- … no…
...
Epimetheus- Well, you can’t open the box!
...
Pandora- (batting her eyelashes) Don’t you love me?
...
Epimetheus- Errr… yes?
...
Pandora- Then let me open the box.
...
Epimetheus- I can’t!
...
Pandora- Then leave me alone to cry. (puts her head in her hands and starts imitating small sobs)
...
Epimetheus- Errr… okay….
...
Epimetheus walks out.
...
Pandora- Finally! He’s gone!
...
Narrator- When she opened the box all the evil spirits such as hate, envy, cheating, lying, stealing, persecuting, condemning, murder, (looks at long list and moans) errr… etcetera, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera….
...
Back on Mt. Olympus.
...
Zeus- Finally, all the evils have been freed into the world, and the humans will suffer for their insolence.
...
Narrator- But there was still one thing left in the box. And that... was Hope-
...
Zeus- QUIET, YOU INSOLENT HUMAN!
