卡住的餅乾模| 英語/中文 雙語朗讀
Story Content
English Original
A small plastic worker skids across flour.
White dust puffs like fine sand.
Hollis stands near the counter edge.
Sunlight shines on the smooth surface.
A faint soap smell drifts upward.
Hollis reaches for the sliding toy.
The worker stops beside a cookie cutter.
Sugar grains sparkle around the cutter.
The room is bright.
Hollis lifts the metal cutter.
It shapes a small tulip outline.
Sticky syrup holds the cutter firmly.
"Sticky syrup here," the grown-up says.
Hollis looks nervous, hand shaking slightly.
A wet cloth lies near the sink.
Hollis slides the damp cloth under.
Syrup loosens, and the cutter lifts.
Sweet fragrance rises as sugar shifts.
Hollis sets toy and cutter aside.
Everything stays quiet on the board.
