【英文版】智慧成人寓言 The Boy Who Collected Shadows 蒐集影子的小男孩

Eli carries a satchel filled with glass vials, each holding a shadow—his own, his friend Mira’s, even the flutter of a sparrow’s wings. To the villagers, shadow-collecting is dangerous magic. But Eli believes shadows are more than shapes of darkness—they hold fears, hopes, and forgotten whispers.

Guided by Mira and the mysterious Shadow Whisperer, Eli must confront the vial holding his deepest doubt: the fear that he is not brave enough. Through this journey, he learns that fear is not an enemy to banish but a teacher to embrace.

伊萊隨身攜帶一個裝滿玻璃瓶的小皮袋，裡面裝著他蒐集到的影子——自己的、朋友米拉的，甚至是麻雀翅膀的掠影。村民們視「影子蒐集」為危險的魔法，但伊萊相信，影子並不只是黑暗的形狀，而是隱藏的恐懼、希望與低語。

在米拉和神秘的「影子低語者」引導下，伊萊必須面對那個裝著他最大疑慮的瓶子：他害怕自己不夠勇敢。透過這場冒險，他發現恐懼不是敵人，而是一位等待被理解的老師。
