Boy Finds a Dolphin Toy on the Shore- 適合初級的英語短篇故事

Leo walked along the ocean with a small green bucket.

He wanted to collect bright shells for the school art wall.

Cool ocean wind brushed his face.

The ocean waves moved in steady rows beside him.

A gentle spray touched his ankles.

A smooth shell shone under shallow water.

He reached down to pick it up.

At that moment, a wide net drifted toward the shore.

The net slid over the shell and dragged it back.

Water splashed his shoes and pushed the bucket over.

Shells rolled out and bumped against each other near small pools.

He ran after them but kept his feet on dry sand.

A long branch lay near a dune.

He used the branch to hook the floating net.

One quick pull freed the shell and many other things.

Among them rested a small plastic dolphin, still shiny.

He placed the dolphin and the rescued shell in the bucket.

Waves calmed, and the net lay empty on wet sand.

Leo lifted the bucket and walked toward the boardwalk.

里奧拿著小綠桶沿著海邊散步。他想為學校的走廊收集亮麗的貝殼。涼爽的海風拂過他的臉。海浪成排地有節奏地靠近他。溫柔的水花輕拍他的腳踝。一顆光滑的貝殼在淺水中閃光。他俯身想撿起來。就在這時，一張寬大的漁網漂向岸邊。網子滑過貝殼，把它又拖了回去。水花濺濕了他的鞋，也把桶推倒。

貝殼滾了出來，在小水窪旁互相碰撞。他追過去，但雙腳仍踩在乾沙上。沙丘旁躺著一根長樹枝。他用樹枝勾住漂浮的漁網。一個迅速的拉動救出了那顆貝殼，也帶出許多別的東西。其中有一隻仍閃亮的小塑膠海豚。他把海豚和被救出的貝殼放進桶裡。海浪漸平，漁網空空地躺在濕沙上。里奧提起桶，朝木板路走去。
