今晨閱讀 Lois Lowry 的 Number the Stars,讀到丹麥在納粹軍進駐期間,納粹士兵與一個男生的對話,讀到丹麥國王是一個受人民愛戴擁護的統治者的時候,不禁為嚴刑峻法、處處防著市民表達意見的港共政府感到羞恥。

//One evening, Papa had told her that earlier he was on an errand near his office, standing on the corner waiting to cross the street, when King Christian came by on his morning ride. One of those German soldiers had turned, suddenly, asked a question of a teenage boy nearby.

“Who is that man who rides past here every morning on the horse?“ The German soldier had asked.

Papa said he had smiled to himself, amused that the German soldier did not know. He listened while the boy answered.

“He is our king,“ the boy told the soldier. “He is the king of Denmark.“

“Where is his bodyguard?“ the soldier had asked.

“And do you know what the boy said?“ Papa had asked Annemarie. She was sitting on his lap. She was little, then, only seven years old. She shook her head, waiting to hear the answer.

“The boy looked right at the soldier, and he said, “All of Denmark is his bodyguard.“//(Number the Stars, Lois Lowry, P.24-25)
