The Shaking Stool- 適合初級的英語短篇故事

Owen carried a large model rocket into the club room.

He wanted to test the fins.

The show started the next week.

He chose a safe corner near the open window.

The cardboard pad balanced on a narrow stool under the rocket.

A loose screw slipped from his pocket and hit the stool.

The stool shook, and the rocket leaned toward a stack of books.

The impact knocked the top book onto the floor.

The moving book crashed into a tall paint jar near the door.

Blue paint flowed out, drawing everyone’s eyes toward the sudden mess.

Owen stepped back, paint splashing over his shoes.

The strange atmosphere filled with sharp paint smell and quick footsteps.

Mia grabbed newspapers and spread them over the growing puddle swiftly.

Owen lifted the rocket and tightened every screw.

The situation settled when the paint stopped reaching the desks nearby.

A faint breeze entered, drying the newspapers along the edge quickly.

Students stared at blue footprints behind Owen.

He wiped the floor with a mop and closed the window.

歐文把一枚大型火箭模型搬進社團教室。

他想測試尾翼。

展覽下週開始。

他選了靠窗的一個安全角落。

紙板墊放在窄凳上托住火箭。

一顆螺絲從他口袋滑出，撞到凳子。

凳子晃動，火箭傾向一疊書。

撞擊把最上面的書推到地上。

滑動的書撞到門邊一罐高高的顏料。

藍色顏料湧出，大家立刻看向突如其來的亂象。

歐文後退，顏料濺到他的鞋。

空氣充滿刺鼻油漆味與急促腳步聲。

米婭抓報紙，迅速鋪在擴大的水漬上。

歐文舉起火箭，重新扭緊每顆螺絲。

顏料不再流向桌子時，情況穩定下來。

微風進來，快乾了邊緣的報紙。

同學們盯著歐文身後的藍色腳印。

他用拖把擦地，然後關上窗戶。
