The Damp Trail on the Mat- 適合初學者的英語短篇故事

Blocks clack on the mat. Maeve steps nearer the shelf. Morning light stripes the soft floor. A cool woody scent drifts. She hears water drip once. A dark oval spot glistens. It rests beside a toy lemon. The spot looks damp and chill. She stands still and watches. Maeve moves around a leaning tower. A tall block hides her view. She bends low and peers under. A thin shiny trail stretches forward. The trail runs like a tiny walkway. Drops twinkle along the path. It shares the same cool touch. Maeve shuffles toward the window edge. A green plastic frog sits under light. Small beads sparkle on its back. They match the damp spot earlier. Another daughter balances blocks nearby. Lana calls, "Look here." A small toy doctor slides from the shelf.

積木在墊子上喀喀作響。梅芙走近木架。晨光在柔軟地墊上劃出明亮條紋。淡淡木香飄散。她聽到水滴聲響一次。一個深色橢圓水痕閃亮。在旁邊放著一顆玩具檸檬。水痕濕冷。她站住觀看。梅芙繞過一座傾斜的積木塔。一塊高積木擋住視線。她彎身往下看。一條細亮水跡向前延伸。水跡像小小步道。水珠沿路閃光。它和先前的水痕同樣冰涼。梅芙移到窗邊。一隻綠色塑膠青蛙在光中坐著。背上小水珠閃亮。它們與早先的水痕相同。另一位小女孩在旁邊平衡積木。拉娜喊：「看這裡。」一個小小玩具醫生從架上滑下。
