The Hidden Photograph - 適合初級的英文短篇故事，含中譯與發音

Mia searched for her yellow cap inside the tall wardrobe.

She wanted it before a morning walk with Ben today.

Her hand tugged a thick coat resting near the top.

The coat slipped forward and pushed a metal box sideways.

The box clanged, dropped, and bounced across stacked shoes below.

Shoes scattered, tapped the mirror, and the glass tilted outward.

The mirror landed on a rug, raising a soft cloud of dust.

One slim envelope slid from behind the frame onto the floorboards.

Mia lifted the envelope; an old photograph rested inside.

Two children waved under a bright kite near a lake.

The picture made it certain the children were Ben and her.

That camp day returned as a clear memory in her mind.

A cap corner peeked from a shoe pile beside the rug.

She grabbed the cap, slipped on both shoes, and hurried outside.

Ben waited by the gate; a surprised owl filled his shirt.

He held a matching photo; the picture showed their friendship years earlier.

They walked slowly toward the park.

Mia 在高大的衣櫃裡找她的黃色帽子。

她想在今天早上的散步前戴上它，Ben 也會一起去。

她伸手拉出最上方的一件厚外套。

外套向前滑落，把一個金屬盒子推向一旁。

盒子噹啷一聲落地，又在疊好的鞋子上彈跳。

鞋子散開，碰到鏡子，鏡面向外傾斜。

鏡子落在地毯上，揚起一片輕柔的灰塵。

鏡框後面滑出一個瘦長信封，落在木地板上。

Mia 撿起信封，裡面是一張舊照片。

兩個孩子在湖邊的鮮豔風箏下揮手。

照片讓她確定那兩個孩子就是 Ben 和她。

那年夏令營的回憶再次浮現在腦海。

鞋子堆旁邊，一角黃色帽子從堆裡探出來。

她抓起帽子，穿好雙鞋，匆匆走到外面。

Ben 站在大門旁，他的藍色襯衫上印著一隻驚訝的貓頭鷹。

他手裡拿著一張一模一樣的照片，圖中顯示多年前的友誼。

他們慢慢走向公園。
