跳跳羊

Here's a story on how strange is life with its changes
　　And it happened not long ago.
　　On a high mountain plain, where the sagebrush arranges
　　A playground south of the snow
　　Lived a lamb with a coat of remarkable sheen,
　　It would glint in the sunlight all sparkly and clean,
　　Such a source of great pride
　　that it caused him to preen.
　　And he'd break out in high stepp'n dance.
　　He would dance for his neighbors across the way.
　　I must say that they found his dancin' enhancin',
　　For they'd also join in the play. (sound of other animals)
　　
　　Then one day…(*pulls sheep away and shaves fluffy coat off..all naked*)(sound of shears; then lightening, thunder, and rain)
　　
　　Then a-boundin up the slope
　　Came a great American jackalope.
　　This sage of the sage, this rare hare of hope,
　　Caused to pause and check out the lamb.
　　"Hey kid, why the mope?"
　　
　　(inpitiful voice)"I used to be something all covered with fluff,
　　And I'd dance in the sunlight and show off my stuff,
　　Then they hauled me away in a manner quite rough
　　And sheared me and dropped me back here in the buff.
　　And if that's not enough
　　Now my friends all laugh at me
　　Cause they think I look ridiculous, funny, and pink."
　　
　　"Pink? Pink? Well, what's wrong with pink?
　　Seems you've got a pink kink in your think.
　　Does it matter what color? Well, that gets nope.
　　Be it pink purple or heliotrope.
　　Now sometimes you're up and sometimes you're down,
　　When you find that you're down well just look around:
　　You still got a body, good legs and fine feet,
　　Get your head in the right place and hey, you're complete!
　　
　　Now as for the dancin', you can do more,
　　You can reach great heights, in fact you can soar.
　　You just get a leg up and ya slap it on down,
　　And you'll find you're up in what's called a bound.
　　Bound, bound, and rebound.
　　Bound and you're up right next to the sky,
　　And I think you can do it if you give it a try,
　　First get a leg up, slap it on down…"
　　
　　(Music and bounding sound)
　　
　　So every year, along about May,
　　They'd load him up and they'd haul him away,
　　And they'd shave him and dump him all naked and bare.
　　He learned to live with it, he didn't care,
　　He'd just bound, bound, bound, and rebound.
　　
　　Now in this world of ups and downs…
　　So nice to know there are jackalopes around.

其实这部短片拍得真的很好，韵味十足的诗歌配上美妙的音乐，就像一首清新的励志小诗。绝对的满分作品！强烈推荐！

我承认我是个爱看动画片的人。一直假惺惺的伪装，却怎样都会像是个没戒掉奶的婴儿因为肚子实在太饿而哭泣着要奶喝。所有，终有这么一天，忍不住要说一些关于动画的一些事，而这个“这么一天”就是今天。

PIXAR的动画短片时常在电影院里面做一些动画大片的暖长。却怎么都不可以对它小看。

即便不爱看动画的人们也可以在会心一笑中忽然觉得严肃起来。而今就是源于一只叫做“跳跳羊”的羊。

故事是极其简单的逻辑。一只全身长满好看的毛的羊有一天忽然被人类抓去剪光了身上的毛。回来之后却成为了大家的笑柄。它终日在垂头丧气的时光中消磨自己生存下去的意志。直到有天一只会跳的麋鹿看到了它，告诉它：跳起来生活就会有意义啦。万般无奈下，跳跳羊终于鼓起勇气尝试了起来，终于成为了大家追随的偶像。没过多久它的毛又长回了原样。虽然这之后人类又无数次的把它抓去把毛剪光，却再也不会让它丧失信心。

面包会有的，爱情也会有的。

我们常听见的这句话，却时常成为一种口头的摆设。说别人总是容易的，但是自己却会身不由己的成为面对“世界末日”的那个对象。其实成就自己的并不在于别人，只在于自己。话说是带有唯心主义的观点，却依然相信只要自己觉得万事皆有可能了，就怎么都不会在精神上被打到。

忽然想起了中学的时候读过钱钟书先生的一篇为伊索寓言做的序。反语的用法告诫着已经不再纯真的人们不要再拜读简单的寓言，以防误导。其实，钱钟书先生要告诫我们的是，正是因为这个世界不再可爱，就更需要这样的寓言来支撑强大的钢筋水泥森林中拥有冷漠心灵的我们。

我承认，越来越久后，在读起这样的童话故事竟然会卑微的产生不屑的心思。却不曾想到，是我退化了还是进步了。答案依然会是前者。我们越来越相信世俗的观点，越来越赞美自己的现实，越来越欣喜自己学会了为污浊的世界唱着虚伪的赞美诗。却不曾想到长大之后的代价是抛弃了人最本质的美好。何必让自己的世界变得如此孤单和无色呢？其实，生活可以更可爱些的。

暂时抛开现实的枷锁吧，学着那只跳跳羊，直到你一跃而起的时候，才发现原来生活可以如此可爱。

很多时候我们是走不出自己给自己画的圈子。遭到了别人的否定之后就一直蜷缩在自己的小圈子里，一步也不肯迈出去，把自己就困死在里面了。有的人因此越来越看轻自己，虽然有时候当我们看轻自己后可以看清自己，但是一旦过了头就容易沉落下去。我也是这样的人，明明知道所谓的出的“丑”不算什么，人家笑话也只是一时的娱乐罢了，然而自己就是走不出去。后来鼓起勇气去尝试了以后才发现，其实一切都没什么。人家根本不在意是谁出的“丑”。很多时候你自己越是胆怯别人才会越记得。人总是要有点自娱精神。无论做什么事，首先自己要觉得再正常不过（否则就别去做了），然后无论别人怎么笑话（或者奉承）怎么说三道四说长道短的自己都要表现的无所谓（当然不是要憋得内伤）。别人渐渐的也许就觉得无趣了。处于人生的高潮时要如此，处于人生的低潮也要如此。
此外，音乐也喜欢啊
    Now sometimes you're up and sometimes you're down,
　　When you find that you're down well just look around:
　　You still got a body, good legs and fine feet,
　　Get your head in the right place and hey, you're complete!

       Now as for the dancin', you can do more,
　　You can reach great heights, in fact you can soar.
　　You just get a leg up and ya slap it on down,
　　And you'll find you're up in what's called a bound.
　　Bound, bound, and rebound.
　　Bound and you're up right next to the sky,
　　And I think you can do it if you give it a try,
　　First get a leg up, slap it on down

皮克斯其实除了大片做的好,短片一样是很棒的,这部就非常不错,中文配音也很滑稽,一个小小的历志故事.
