表    里    的    生    物   

 我    小    时    候    住    在    一    座    小    城    里   , 城    里    没    有    工    厂   , 所    以    也    没    有    机    器    的    声    音   。 我    那    时    以    为    凡    能    发    出    声    音    的   , 都    是    活    的    生    物   。 早    晨    有    鸟    叫    得    很    好    听   , 夜    里    有    狗    吠    得    很    怕    人   , 夏    天    蝉    在    绿    树    上    叫   , 秋    晚    有    各    种    的    虫    在    草    丛    中    唱    不    同    的    歌    曲   。 钟    楼    上    的    钟    不    是    活    的   , 有    时    却    洪    亮    地    响    起    来   , 那    是    有    一    个    老    人    在    敲   ; 街    心    有    时    响    着    三    弦    的    声    音   , 那    是    一    个    盲    人    在    弹   。 哪    里    有    死    的    东    西    会    自    己    走    动   , 并    且    能    自    动    地    发    出    和    谐    的    声    音    呢   ?
 可    是    父    亲    怀    里    的    表    有    时    放    在    桌    子    上   , 不    但    它    的    秒    针    会    自    己    走    动   , 而    且    它    坚    硬    的    表    盖    里    还    会    发    出    清    脆    的    声    音   : 嘀    嗒   , 嘀    嗒   …… 没    有    一    刻    的    休    息   , 这    声    音    比    蝉    鸣    要    柔    和    些   , 比    虫    的    歌    曲    要    单    调    些   
 一    天   ,  我    对    父    亲    说   :
 我    爱    听    这    表    的    声    音   
 我    一    边    说    一    边    向    着    表    伸    出    手    去   。 父    亲    立    刻    把    我    的    手    拦    住    了   , 他    说   :  只    许    听   , 不    许    动   
 停    了    一    会    儿   , 他    又    添    上    一    句   :
 小    孩    儿    不    许    动    表   
 他    这    么    说   , 就    更    增    加    了    表    的    神    秘   。 不    许    动   , 里    边    该    是    什    么    东    西    在    响    呢   ? 我    对    于    它    的    好    奇    心    一    天    比    一    天    增    加   。 树    上    的    蝉   , 草    里    的    虫   , 都    不    会    轻    易    被    人    看    见   , 我    想   : 表    里    边    一    定    也    有    一    个    蝉    或    虫    一    类    的    生    物    吧   , 这    生    物    被    父    亲    关    在    表    里   , 不    许    小    孩    子    动   
 本    文    作    者    冯    至   , 选    作    课    文    时    有    改    动   
 越    不    许    我    动   , 我    越    想    动   , 但    是    我    又    不    敢   , 因    此    很    痛    苦   。 这    样    过    了    许    多    天   。 父    亲    一    把    表    放    在    桌    子    上   , 我    的    眼    睛    就    再    也    离    不    开    它   。 有    一    次   , 父    亲    也    许    看    我    的    样    子    太    可    怜    了   , 也    许    自    己    有    什    么    高    兴    的    事   , 他    对    我    笑    着    说   : 你    来   , 我    给    你    看    看    表    里    是    什    么    在    响   , 可    是    只    许    看   , 不    许    动   
 没    有    请    求   , 父    亲    就    自    动    给    我    看   , 我    高    兴    极    了   , 同    时    我    的    心    也    加    速    跳    动   。 父    亲    取    出    一    把    小    刀   , 把    表    盖    拨    开   , 我    的    面    前    立    即    呈    现    出    一    个    美    丽    的    世    界   : 蓝    色    的   、 红    色    的    小    宝    石   , 钉    住    几    个    金    黄    色    的    齿    轮   , 里    边    还    有    一    个    小    尾    巴    似    的    东    西    不    停    地    摆    来    摆    去   。 这    小    世    界    不    但    被    表    盖    保    护    着   , 还    被    一    层    玻    璃    蒙    着   。 我    看    得    入    神   , 唯    恐    父    亲    再    把    这    美    丽    的    世    界    盖    上   。 但    是   , 过    了    一    会    儿   , 父    亲    还    是    把    表    盖    上    了   。 父    亲    的    表    里    边    真    是    好    看   
 此    后    我    就    常    常    请    求    父    亲    把    他    的    表    打    开    给    我    看   , 有    时    父    亲    答    应    我   , 有    时    也    拒    绝    我   , 这    要    看    他    高    兴    不    高    兴   。 有    一    回   , 父    亲    又    把    表    打    开    了   , 我    问   :
 这    摆    来    摆    去    的    是    一    个    小    蝎    子    的    尾    巴   , 一    动    就    要    蜇    你   
 我    吓    了    一    跳   , 蝎    子    是    多    么    丑    恶    而    恐    怖    的    东    西   , 为    什    么    把    它    放    在    这    样    一    个    美    丽    的    世    界    里    呢   ? 但    是    我    也    感    到    愉    快   , 证    实    我    的    猜    测    没    有    错   : 表    里    边    有    一    个    活    的    生    物   。 我    继    续    问   :
 为    什    么    把    那    样    可    怕    的    东    西    放    在    这    么    好    的    表    里   ?
 父    亲    没    有    回    答   。 我    只    想   , 大    半    因    为    它    有    好    听    的    声    音    吧   。 但    是    一    般    的    蝎    子    都    没    有    这    么    好    听    的    声    音   , 也    许    这    里    边    的    蝎    子    与    一    般    的    不    同   
 后    来    我    见    人    就    说   : 我    有    蟋    蟀    在    钵    子    里   , 蝈    蝈    在    葫    芦    里   , 鸟    儿     在    笼    子    里   , 父    亲    却    有    一    个    小    蝎    子    在    表    里   
 这    样    的    话    我    不    知    说    了    多    久   ,  也    不    知    道    到    什    么    时    候    才    不    说    了   
 课    文    的    结    尾    写    道   : 这    样    的    话    我    不    知    说    了    多    久   , 也    不    知    道    到    什    么    时    候    才    不    说    了   。 你    也    有    过    类    似    的    经    历    吗   ? 和    同    学    交    流
