The Upside-Down Kettle- 適合初學者的英語短篇故事

Leo walks along the wall. The sun is warm. A small window appears ahead. His red jacket brushes the brick. Dust covers the glass pane. He cannot see inside. He wipes it with his sleeve. The view becomes clear. He sees a deep garden. Tall grass waves in wind.

Leo steps to a gate gap. Ants always march near there. Through the gap he looks. Small birds hop over seeds. He moves to a round hole. The hole sits low down. Inside, water fills a pond. A new kettle lies upside down. No person stands nearby. Steam rises from its spout. Quiet mist stays over water.

里歐沿著牆走。太陽很暖。前方出現一扇小窗。紅色外套擦過磚面。灰塵遮住玻璃。他看不清裡面。他用袖子擦拭。視線變得清晰。他看到一座深深的花園。高草在風中搖。

里歐走到門縫。螞蟻總是在那裡行進。他透過縫隙觀看。小鳥在種子上跳躍。他再走向圓洞。洞口位置較低。裡面有一池水。新的水壺倒立在上。四下無人。蒸氣從壺口升起。安靜薄霧停在水面。
