某日艾莉兒聊起懷舊卡通的話題。234Please respect copyright.PENANAe1PXejO1BL

從前寶可夢不叫寶可夢,而是神奇寶貝,但如果跟現在小孩子說神奇寶貝,他們會很茫然看著你,心裡大約咕噥著:這叔叔/阿姨在說什麼。234Please respect copyright.PENANAAC7kCtxvF4
234Please respect copyright.PENANAYETHjSsewp
她說:「小朋友應該不知道『小叮噹』了,他們只知道哆啦A夢。」234Please respect copyright.PENANA4w5MDGtQON
234Please respect copyright.PENANADCekotSIwv
小叮噹是很古早以前的稱呼,那時野比大雄也不姓野比,而是叫葉大雄。小夫則叫阿福或牙擦仔,胖虎叫做技安,靜香舊稱叫靜宜或靜兒。現在還記得這些舊名稱的大多有年紀了。234Please respect copyright.PENANA2nvuRKsuvm
234Please respect copyright.PENANAOFgj1FIuFP
她回憶起一則可愛的往事,「說起小叮噹,我跟你們說一件很印象深刻的事。」234Please respect copyright.PENANA52YIZlX2xv
234Please respect copyright.PENANASXj0UQlMgM
那已經是許多年前的事了。234Please respect copyright.PENANAteToY82VMH
234Please respect copyright.PENANA8YVNsiqQMJ
當時艾莉兒在二手書店工作,店內舉辦促銷活動,精選書區的書籍一本只要五十元,四本特惠價一百五十元,算起來等於一本書不到四十元就能獲得。234Please respect copyright.PENANAKM7oV4cJQV
234Please respect copyright.PENANAoN3CH6puse
被列入精選書區的書籍,大多是書況不好的書,有些是老舊,有些是泛黃或破損,它們皆因為各種不同的殘缺理由,被陳列為促銷書。234Please respect copyright.PENANAS40f47Lf3Z
234Please respect copyright.PENANAYVe69Z7SJ4
儘管外觀不再美麗,該有的內涵仍存在,作為一本書,它們還有被需要的價值。234Please respect copyright.PENANAYcVu7VdhMJ
234Please respect copyright.PENANAF5vQTYJfLF
許多客人會趁著促銷活動,大量購買已成絕版品的寶藏書。也有買給小孩子的長輩,因為是有缺陷的書,孩子們不小心撕爛不會太心疼。234Please respect copyright.PENANAYDpW68BEBy

那日,艾莉兒接待到一名中年男客人,男客人在精選書區前晃來晃去,一雙眼視線轉來轉去,幾次拿起來看到封面又馬上放回去,也不見他翻看書本內容。依據艾莉兒長年觀察客人的經驗,這客人可能是有想要尋找的書。234Please respect copyright.PENANA2BhbjXFG5x
234Please respect copyright.PENANAPsefWOTQux
果然不久後,那名客人挑選了三本封面寫「小叮噹」的陳年漫畫書來。234Please respect copyright.PENANArm77o3RGGj
234Please respect copyright.PENANACGA8cIbPOl
原來是喜歡看小叮噹,譯名還是舊的,市面上早已絕版,他應該找了很久。艾莉兒想像著這位客人在其他書店問書的樣子。234Please respect copyright.PENANAMGv8nEpBf3
234Please respect copyright.PENANA1guA7NvvkF
不過數了數,客人拿來的書本只有三本,秉持關懷錢包胖瘦,艾莉兒好意提醒說:「您要不要再去挑一本,四本書有促銷價,我們現在折扣四本只要一百五十元,對您比較划算。」234Please respect copyright.PENANAlqkgwBLxwi
234Please respect copyright.PENANAvw6ms8snxq
一般客人聽到價格可以再更低,大都願意再去多挑幾本。234Please respect copyright.PENANA974YcSzhxj
234Please respect copyright.PENANAsImVP831mg
「不用,不是我要看的。」但那名客人果斷拒絕了。234Please respect copyright.PENANACDcucCPHpd
234Please respect copyright.PENANAAglrBWDhrh
客人說話時國語夾雜台語,帶點老一輩的親切鄉音。就年紀來看應該是做阿公的人了。234Please respect copyright.PENANAlv1BWdBqC5
234Please respect copyright.PENANARGqrD2OvfG
艾莉兒也不免強,低頭刷條碼時隨口問:「給家裡小朋友的嗎?」234Please respect copyright.PENANA3KRb9Ip22N
234Please respect copyright.PENANAI3esCKk9cX
「給神明看的。」234Please respect copyright.PENANAp0g1GLWINU
234Please respect copyright.PENANAifa4T0a7gP
艾莉兒愣住,她抬頭看了看客人,想確認自己的耳朵沒有聽錯。234Please respect copyright.PENANAtgLruf1P1i
234Please respect copyright.PENANAvvZXPuxV85
「神明......嗎?」艾莉兒小心翼翼確認,「請問是什麼神明?」234Please respect copyright.PENANADo6SCe0nT8
234Please respect copyright.PENANAeltTUsBgQn
中年男客人理所當然地回答:「給三太子的啦,祂想要看這個。」234Please respect copyright.PENANAke6WDjxhI1
234Please respect copyright.PENANAJE0WCYpfKE
艾莉兒內心大受震撼。三太子?電音的那位?腳踩風火輪的那個?頭上綁兩個髻,穿肚兜那個小孩子的神明對嗎?234Please respect copyright.PENANAktMs9HHYyU
234Please respect copyright.PENANAJP32M7fWiW
那天艾莉兒了解到,原來台灣的哪吒三太子,挺喜歡日本的小叮噹漫畫的。234Please respect copyright.PENANAgTZQ5hP48y
234Please respect copyright.PENANApISfYSXHYl
喜歡到降下指示,指定要買這三本漫畫書給祂看。234Please respect copyright.PENANAios9B1ubaC
