偷得浮生半日閒

八月底，學生紛紛回到學校，校園裡卻大興土木，塵土飛揚。學校裡多了一批陌生人，默默地改造校園的風貌，不過不管大家如何繞道而行，沒有人看見他們。

正午時分，十二點半的午睡鈴響，吱吱喳喳的女孩像小雞一樣被趕進教室裡睡午覺。教室外他另闢午休的天地，大家對他視而不見，他在大太陽底下睡得香甜。

The beauty of being invisible

At the end of August, all students returned to school. Yet the construction work that had lasted for two months never ended. The whole campus was dusty, with mud dried under the scorching sunlight. A group of strangers settled in the school temporarily, changing the looks of our buildings silently. No matter how much trouble this caused the students, nobody saw them.

At noontime, when the bell for the break time rang, the chattering young girls were rushed into the classrooms for a nap. Outside, he had a vast space all to himself. He was invisible, but the satisfaction of deep and sound sleep was written on his tanned face.
