Bud Opens in the Morning Garden- 適合初學者的英語短篇故事

In the back garden, a leaf spins. Jude stands still and watches. Morning light rests on wet grass. Cool grass surrounds his shoes. A half-open bud rests nearby. Warmth pushes the soft petals apart. Dew drops touch the lower leaf. A thin stick forms a bridge. Beside it, a shallow puddle shrinks. Sunlight pulls water toward the air. The stick sinks lower each moment. Jude looks back at the bud. The opening now grows wider. Near the step, Keira rubs lotion slowly. A light mint smell lifts. Her shoulders drop; she looks sad. A silver snail trail glistens halfway dry. Jude watches the leaf spin again.

在後院，一片葉子旋轉。Jude 靜靜站著觀看。晨光落在濕草上。涼涼的草圍住他的鞋子。一顆半開的花苞就在旁邊。溫暖讓柔軟的花瓣慢慢張開。露珠碰觸下方的葉子。一根細棒像小橋一樣跨著水窪。旁邊的一小灘水正慢慢變小。陽光把水分拉向空氣。細棒每一刻都沉得更低。Jude 再看那花苞。花口此刻張得更大。台階邊，Keira 慢慢抹護手乳。淡淡的薄荷味飄起。她的肩膀下垂，看起來有些難過。一條銀色的蝸牛痕半乾半亮。Jude 再次看那片旋轉的葉子。
