Shadow in the Garden- 適合初學者的英語短篇故事

Sam walks into the garden. The night sky hangs above. The air is cool. A single apple shines nearby. Sam reaches for the apple. A dark shape blocks him. It looks like a wolf. Sam steps back two steps. His hand shakes a little. A porch light turns on. Soft light covers the garden. The shape changes slowly. It is not a wolf. It is a wooden eagle. The wooden bird rests on a pole. Sam walks under the tree. The apple drops into his hand. The apple feels cool and smooth. Sam places it in his pocket. Leaves rustle above his head. Moonlight covers the quiet grass. The garden stays quiet.

山姆走進花園。夜空懸在上方。空氣微涼。一顆閃亮的蘋果在附近。山姆伸手去拿蘋果。一道黑影擋住他。那影子像隻狼。山姆後退兩步。他的手微微發抖。門廊燈亮起。柔和的光照滿花園。影子慢慢改變。那不是狼。那是一隻木雕鷹。木鷹安靜地站在竿子上。山姆走到樹下。蘋果掉進他手裡。蘋果冰涼而光滑。山姆把它放進口袋。樹葉在他頭上沙沙作響。月光覆在寧靜的草地上。花園依舊安靜。
