在平凡的现实世界，很多时候需要梦想来带领我们超越一下眼前的小小困境，用不同的视角来看待生活，这是很美好的事情。对于小朋友，“变身”梦想是最令人兴奋的梦想之一，能令我们拥有各种超能力，岂不美哉！
1942年出版的《The Runaway Bunny》，就展现了一个这样的“变身”梦想：
Once there was a little bunny who wanted to run away.
So he said to his mother, “I am running away.”
“If you run away,” said his mother, “I will run after you. For you are my little bunny.”
可爱的小兔子很实在，跟妈妈实话实说：我要跑走啦！
兔妈妈也很温柔，不骂不打，直接说：你跑我就追！
“If you run after me,”said the little bunny,
“I will become a fish in a trout stream and I will swim away from you.”
“If you become a fish in a trout stream,” said his mother,
“I will become a fisherman and I will fish for you.”
小兔子第一个化身梦想：要变成一条鱼。
兔妈妈的应对：要变成渔夫来钓起你这条小鱼。
多有趣的画面！
接下来继续着一逃一追的模式，小兔子和兔妈妈分别又变成了：
a rock on the mountainvsa mountain climber
a crocus（红番花）ina hidden gardenvsa gardener
a birdvsatree
alittle sailboatvsthe wind
最后小兔子认输了。因为不管怎么变，妈妈的变化更厉害啊！
“Shucks, ” said the bunny, “I might just as well stay where I am and be your little bunny.”
And so he did.
“Have a carrot,” said the mother bunny.
妈妈举重若轻：吃根胡萝卜吧！——当一切没发生过^_^
有没有感觉小兔子和兔妈妈的一路变身追逃很熟悉？像不像孙悟空和二郎神的“斗法”？哈哈，古今中外的想象力都差不多啊！
作者Margaret Wise Brown，也是经典名作《Goodnight Moon》的创作者。看来，她特别擅长这种有着安静气息的、诗意的想象之作！
