When Water Met Sand- 適合初級的英語短篇故事

Sam pushes a blue bucket under the garden tap.

Warm sunlight touches the small patio floor.

He plans to wash his muddy trainers before lunch.

He places a plastic funnel as an assistant inside the bucket.

Soft talk drifts over the fence where neighbours paint a chair.

Sam opens the tap and clear water falls through the funnel.

The bucket fills quickly and he tries to remember the limit.

Foam grows on the surface and makes a funny crown.

A sudden gust tilts the funnel and water leaps out.

The splash runs across the tiles and reaches a bag of sand.

Grains escape, mix with water, and form thick beige streams.

The streams slide downhill toward the wooden door of the shed.

Sam grabs a broom and sweeps, but the mix keeps flowing.

He lifts a short plank and drops it across the wet path.

The plank blocks the rush and sends it into the garden drain.

He nods at the new channel and thinks about drying tomorrow.

Colored water and sand swirl around the plank before slipping underground.

山姆把一個藍色水桶推到花園水龍頭下。

溫暖的陽光落在小天井的地面上。

他打算在午餐前清洗沾滿泥的運動鞋。

他把一個塑膠漏斗放進水桶，當作小幫手。

籬笆後傳來鄰居輕輕的說話聲，他們正在刷椅子。

山姆打開水龍頭，清水從漏斗中落下。

水桶很快就滿了，他努力記住水面應停的位置。

泡沫浮起，形成一頂滑稽的小皇冠。

一陣突風吹斜漏斗，水突然濺出。

水花越過瓷磚，碰到一袋沙子。

沙粒溢出，與水混合，變成厚厚的米色水流。

水流順著下坡滑向木製儲物棚的門。

山姆抓起掃帚掃水，但混合物仍然向前衝。

他抬起一塊短木板，橫放在濕滑的路面上。

木板擋住急流，把水導向花園排水口。

他看著新的水道，想著明天要再把地面弄乾。

帶著沙子的彩色水在木板周圍打旋，最後滑入地下。
