Rainy Seed Surprise- 適合初學者的英語短篇故事

Leo holds one small seed. Rain taps the window glass. The desk holds a grow lamp. Leo places a round pot. He fills it with soil. He presses the seed inside. A spoon works as helper. Water drips from the spoon. Leo wipes soil from fingers. Rain outside keeps falling steady. Warm light covers the soil. Tiny drops glisten on soil.

Suddenly the lamp flicks off. The room turns dark quickly. Leo lifts the loose cord. He pushes the plug deeper. Bright light returns at once. The warm beam hits soil. A pale sprout surprises Leo. Leo jumps, excited now. Drops of water shine green. Leaves start opening slowly. The sprout bends toward light. Soft shadows dance on wall. The lamp light stayed soft.

Leo 拿著一顆小種子。雨滴敲打窗玻璃。書桌上有一盞生長燈。Leo 放下一個圓盆。他把土填進去。他把種子壓進土裡。一把湯匙當作小助手。水珠從湯匙滴落。Leo 把手指上的泥土擦掉。窗外的雨持續落下。溫暖的光覆蓋著土面。細小水珠在土上閃亮。

忽然，檯燈熄滅。房間瞬間變暗。Leo 拿起鬆動的電線。他把插頭推得更緊。明亮的光立刻回來。溫暖光束照在土面。一支淺色嫩芽讓 Leo 驚喜。Leo 跳了起來，興奮地拍手。水珠映出綠光。嫩葉慢慢張開。嫩芽朝著光彎曲。柔和的影子在牆上跳動。燈光保持柔和。
