📘 故事名稱：螢幕背後的小謊言
Story Title: The Little Lies Behind the Screen
在城市的一棟小公寓裡，住著一個六年級的男孩——小言。他眼睛大大的，很聰明，學東西快，也很懂得怎麼讓爸媽放心。
In a small city apartment lived a sixth-grade boy named Yan. He had big bright eyes and was smart, quick to learn, and knew just how to make his parents feel at ease.
疫情期間，學校改成線上課，小言的爸媽也都在家工作。他們信任小言能好好上課，於是把他安置在自己的房間。
During the pandemic, school went online. Both of Yan’s parents worked from home, and they trusted that Yan could attend his classes responsibly, so they let him study in his own room.
一開始，小言真的有乖乖上課，但沒過幾天，他就開始分心了。他偷偷開了一個分頁看動畫，玩網路小遊戲，甚至讀起他最愛的manga。
At first, Yan did attend class properly. But after a few days, he started getting distracted. He opened a new tab to watch videos, played online games, and even started reading his favorite manga.
他還會把視訊關掉，假裝網路不穩，或是回爸媽的問題：「我在聽啊！這是老師叫我們查資料！」
He would turn off his camera, pretend the internet was lagging, or tell his parents, “I’m listening! The teacher asked us to look something up!”
爸媽幾次發現後很擔心，但他們沒有馬上處罰，而是一次次給他機會：「我們相信你會改，也希望你自己做決定。」
His parents found out a few times and grew worried. But instead of punishing him, they gave him chances: “We believe you’ll change. We want you to choose to do the right thing.”
小言每次都低著頭說：「對不起，我下次不會了。」可過了兩天，又回到老樣子。
Every time, Yan would lower his head and say, “Sorry, I won’t do it again.” But two days later, he’d go back to the same habit.
🖥️【螢幕裡的影子】
某一天，老師打電話來說：「小言上課常不回應，作業都沒交，是不是有什麼問題？」
One day, the teacher called and said, “Yan often doesn’t respond in class and hasn’t turned in his homework. Is something going on?”
爸媽聽完沉默了。他們輕輕走進小言房間，發現他螢幕上不是Zoom課程，而是一部熱血漫畫。
His parents were silent. They gently walked into his room and saw that his screen wasn’t Zoom—it was a high-action manga page.
媽媽失望地說：「我們不是不讓你玩，而是希望你能誠實、有責任。」
His mom said with deep disappointment, “We’re not stopping you from having fun. We just hope you can be honest and responsible.”
爸爸難過地補充：「你不是做不到，是你沒有選擇去做對的事。」
His dad added, “It’s not that you can’t do it. You’re just choosing not to do the right thing.”
那晚，小言在床上翻來覆去，睡不著。他腦中一直響著爸媽說的話。
That night, Yan tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep. His parents’ words kept echoing in his mind.
他想起佛堂裡常見的一句話：
「持一條戒，就能改變一個習氣；改正一個惡習，就解脫一個煩惱。」
He remembered a phrase often seen on the little shrine at home:
“Keep one precept, and you can change one habit; fix one bad habit, and you free yourself from one worry.”
「我到底在怕什麼？怕沒得玩？怕成績不好？還是怕別人失望？」小言喃喃自語。
“What am I really afraid of? No games? Bad grades? Or just people being disappointed?” Yan whispered to himself.
🌱【轉變的開始】
第二天，小言主動跟爸媽坦白：「我這次真的想改，不是因為你們生氣，是因為我也不喜歡那樣的自己。」
The next day, Yan honestly told his parents, “This time, I really want to change—not because you’re mad, but because I don’t like who I’ve become.”
他開始做簡單的改變：上課時間把手機交給爸媽，寫下每天必須完成的事項，每週主動檢查自己的學習狀況。
He started with simple steps: handing in his phone during class, writing down daily goals, and reviewing his own progress each week.
偶爾他還是會想偷懶，但每當他想點開漫畫或遊戲時，他就會問自己：
「我是不是又在給自己挖一個煩惱坑？」
Sometimes he still felt tempted. But each time he wanted to click on a manga or game, he asked himself:
“Am I digging another hole of trouble for myself?”
幾週後，他的老師驚訝地說：「小言最近進步很多，變得很有自律！」
Weeks later, his teacher was amazed, “Yan has improved so much—he’s become very self-disciplined!”
媽媽悄悄在他的筆記本裡夾了一張字條：「做對的事，就是給未來的自己一份禮物。」
His mom quietly slipped a note into his notebook:
“Doing the right thing is giving a gift to your future self.”
🧠 互動省思問題｜Reflection Questions:
你曾經像小言一樣，在該認真時偷玩、說謊過嗎？那時你心裡是怎麼想的？
Have you ever lied or played when you should’ve been focused, like Yan? What were you thinking or feeling then?
如果你現在有一個壞習慣（偷玩、說謊、偷懶…），你覺得是哪裡可以先「修補」？
If you have a bad habit now (like lying, procrastinating, or sneaking play time), where do you think you can start “fixing” it?
如果今天要你持一條「戒」，來幫助你改變一個習氣，你會選哪一條？為什麼？
If you had to choose one precept to help change a habit, which one would you pick? And why?
