Blocks in the Square- 適合初級的英語短篇故事

Leo carried bright wooden blocks into the sunny square. His goal was clear; build the tallest tower before lunch. Ella walked beside him and held extra blocks for support. Maya stepped ahead, calm and steady, quiet leader of the trio. Children nearby watched while warm air lifted dust around their feet. Loose papers slid over stone near the fountain, brushing Leo's shoes.

Leo placed blocks carefully, layer by layer, toward certain victory. A sudden ball rolled across, bumped a leg, shook the tower. Blocks slid, clattered, and scattered across smooth stones in waves. Ella lunged, caught the leaning stack, her arm strong and supportive. Maya knelt, placed her palm under the top corner for support. The ball owner grabbed it, then stepped back, clearing new space. Leo lifted fallen pieces and rebuilt the shaken section quickly. The tower stood again, taller and straighter than before. Leo patted the top block gently.

利奧把彩色木塊搬到陽光明亮的廣場。他的目標很明確，要在午餐前蓋出最高的塔。艾拉走在旁邊，拿著多餘的積木當支撐。瑪雅走在最前頭，步伐穩定，像安靜的領隊。附近的孩子停下腳步，暖風吹起腳邊的灰塵。幾張紙片滑過石面，貼著噴泉邊緣，輕刷利奧的鞋尖。

利奧小心地一層層放上積木，直朝著勝利前進。突然一顆球滾過來，撞到一條腿，整座塔跟著晃動。積木滑落，在光滑石地上散開。艾拉撲過去，手臂用力托住傾斜的塔身，動作十分支援。瑪雅蹲下，把手掌墊在角落繼續加強。拿球的小朋友把球收好，退到一旁讓出空間。利奧撿起散落的木塊，很快補回搖晃的區段。塔再度直立，比先前更高更平整。利奧輕輕拍了拍最上面的積木。
