Round Stone Rolls at the Creek - 適合初學者的英文短篇故事，含中譯與發音

A wet stone glints at the creek edge.

Water murmurs under the branch. Uma kneels on warm sand.

The stone's rim dries pale. A damp halo rings the sand. Her hands rest on her knees. Light on water hides the ring. Uma leans left. Her shoulder blocks glare.

At the pile, a round stone rolls. The sand slopes a little here. It creeps toward the flat front. It creeps.

Back at the edge, the rim is paler. The halo thins near her toes. Uma takes a break on the log. A toy house sits on the blanket. A tiny counter stands in it. Two toy fruit pieces rest there. A small bedroom shows a soft bed. Bright festival flags line the roof. The father sits on the log. "It is steady," he says.

A water strider skates into the still pool.

一顆濕石在溪邊發亮。

水聲在樹枝下低低流動。Uma 跪在溫暖的沙地上。

那顆石頭的邊緣正在變淡。沙上有一圈濕痕。她的雙手放在膝上。水面的光遮住那圈線。Uma 向左傾。她的肩膀擋住了反光。

在石堆那邊，一顆圓石在滾動。這一帶的沙子有一點斜。它慢慢往平坦的前面移。它慢慢移。

回到溪邊，邊緣更淡了。她腳尖旁的濕痕更細了。Uma 在木頭上休息一下。一座玩具小屋放在毯子上。裡面有一個小小的工作檯面。兩個玩具水果放在那裡。一間小臥室露出一張軟床。亮色的小旗排在屋頂邊。父親坐在木頭上。「它很穩，」他說。

一隻水黽滑進了平靜的小水面。
