A Postcard Lifts and a Sandcastle Appears- 適合初學者的英語短篇故事

Declan wipes one circle on glass. Grey light rests on the cushion. Rain taps above the frame. He lays the cloth beside. He lifts a bright postcard. The picture shows a sunny beach. Dust grips hard. He tugs again, and it loosens. Under it stand tiny ridges, a sandcastle.

He sets the card back. Next, he lifts a wooden tower. Light dust drifts away. A flat violet flower rests under. The tower returns to its spot. He tilts one cushion corner. A folded paper boat forms shelter there. Faye looks up. "See the rain," she says. A new mist muffles the circle.

Declan 在霧霧的玻璃上擦出一個小圓圈。灰色的光落在座墊上。雨水輕敲窗框上方。他把布放在旁邊。他舉起一張亮色明信片。圖片裡是一片陽光沙灘。灰塵緊緊黏住。他再拉一次，紙片鬆動。卡片下方，濕灰塵堆成小小沙堡。

他輕放回那張卡片。接著，他抬起一座木頭小塔。細灰飄開。一朵扁平的紫色花躺在下面。小塔回到原位。他掀起靠墊一角。一艘摺紙小船在裡面形成一個小庇護所。Faye 抬頭說：「看雨。」新的水霧再次遮住那個圓圈。
