The Twig That Brings Water- 適合初學者的英語短篇故事

A small squirrel stands near grass. A metal cup sits nearby. Cold water fills the cup. Tall trees mark the forest. Soft light falls through leaves. The air is cool today. The squirrel stretches toward the rim. Its short tongue stays below.

The squirrel pushes the cup. The metal wall is firm. The water shakes but stays inside. The squirrel climbs onto the rim. Its paws slip on metal. It falls back to grass. A thin twig lies nearby. The squirrel grips the twig. It dips the twig inside. Water coats the twig tip. The squirrel licks the twig. The cup stayed upright.

一隻小松鼠站在草旁。一個金屬杯在旁邊。杯裡滿是冷水。高大的樹形成森林。柔和的光穿過樹葉。今天的空氣很涼。松鼠向杯緣伸長鼻子。牠短短的舌頭還差一點。

松鼠推杯子。金屬壁很堅硬。水面震動卻仍在杯內。松鼠爬上杯緣。牠的爪子在金屬上打滑。牠跌回草地。一根細枝在旁邊。松鼠抓起細枝。牠把細枝插進杯裡。枝尖沾滿水。松鼠舔那根枝條。杯子依舊直立。
