The Empty Pitcher- 適合初學者的英語短篇故事

The garden party starts now. Mia lifts a tall pitcher. Leo lines cups on table. Children bounce around and play. Mia tilts it above cups. Only air drifts from pitcher. Mia gently shakes the pitcher. A soft clink surprises Mia. She peers inside the pitcher. A rolled paper sits inside. The empty space shines white. Leo leans closer to look.

Mia unrolls the thin sheet. The sheet is a will. Children see bright orange arrows. Arrows point toward the shed. Mia walks across fresh grass. Leo holds cups and jogs. A small cooler stands inside. Ice water surrounds orange juice. Mia fills the tall pitcher. Liquid splashes into waiting cups. Children clap and sip juice. The garden air stays still.

花園派對現在開始。Mia 舉起一個高壺。Leo 把杯子排在桌上。孩子們跳動並玩耍。Mia 將壺傾向杯子上方。只有空氣從壺裡溢出。Mia 輕輕搖晃壺身。一聲輕響讓 Mia 吃驚。她探頭看進壺裡。一張捲起的紙放在裡面。空蕩的空間顯得潔白。Leo 靠近查看。

Mia 展開那張薄紙。那張紙是一份遺囑。孩子們看見鮮橙色箭頭。箭頭指向小棚子。Mia 踏過青草走去。Leo 捧著杯子小跑。棚子裡有個小冰箱。冰水包圍著柳橙汁。Mia 裝滿那個高壺。液體濺入等候的杯子。孩子們拍手並啜飲果汁。花園空氣保持寧靜。
