无法选择颜色的八八人行

在海中一个充满活力的珊瑚礁中,有一只章鱼可以将其皮肤改变为它所希望的任何颜色。有一天,它变成亮红色,接下来是一片绿色。然后,一个鱼朋友问,“章鱼,你真正的颜色是什么?”

章鱼们静默地、惊恐地倒下,它以前从未想到过这一点。它试图记住,但完全记不起它原来的颜色,它经常变换,以至于忘记了它。

章鱼开始寻找其真实的颜色。 它问到橙色的小丑鱼、蓝蟹和紫色的海星应该是什么颜色。 但是,它问得越多,它就越混乱 — — 每个生物都暗示了不同的东西。

章鱼在寻找时疲惫不堪,漂浮在珊瑚礁中间,沉睡在地上,让皮肤随情绪和周围环境自然地变换,而不再试图控制它。 奇怪的是,它比以往更感到和平。

章鱼意识到改变颜色的能力是它真正的自我,它从不需要像其他鱼类一样的固定颜色。 从那时起,它为它所变成的每一种颜色感到自豪,在海洋中生活的生活里,它快乐地改变了自己的衣物。

做你自己并不意味着只是一件事—— 你改变和适应的方式 也可以成为你真实自我的一部分。

Parents' guide

Explore a changing identity with the many-colored octopus

A good fit for

Children who enjoy color and art or wonder whether interests and identity must fit one fixed choice. People can change across time and situations.

Know before reading

A friend's question about the “real color” confuses the octopus. A child may connect this with pressure to choose a gender expression, interest, group, or role. They need not disclose anything about themselves.

Words to explore

adapt
to change in response to a situation
identity
the many qualities and experiences that make us who we are
shade
a lighter, darker, or slightly different form of a color

Before reading

  • Why do some animals change color?
  • Can one person like several colors at once?

While reading

  • Do the friends' suggestions help or add confusion?
  • How does the octopus feel when the colors move naturally?

After reading

  • Does the octopus need a single “real color”?
  • What parts of us can change, and what might we want to keep?
  • How can a friend ask about identity respectfully?

A 10-minute after-reading activity

About 10 minutes

Materials: paper, many colored pencils

  1. Divide a circle into waking, playing, resting, and family time.
  2. Choose colors for feelings or energy without assigning universal meanings.
  3. Let the child explain only the sections they want to share.

What may feel scary or confusing

Colors and feelings have no fixed mapping. Do not correct red to angry or blue to sad; the child owns the meaning.

For adults: leave room for the child's view

The octopus does not have to be “finished” discovering itself. Identity may keep changing and invite new questions.
