Story Content
English Original
Nina stood by the small planted bed with grandmother.
A wet-earth smell rose from the soft dark soil.
A small stone sculptor statue stood near the hedge.
The small wooden watering can rested at the edge.
"I can pour now," Nina said softly.
She lifted it and felt the water's weight.
A slow soft stream fell through the small rose-head.
The soft dark soil held it, then let it sink.
A small bean sprout stood near the smooth stone path.
A soft tick sounded from the hedge.
A small dry branch dropped onto the stone edge.
Drops touched it and linked into a thin line.
The line ran along the branch to the path.
Dew mixed with dust and made tiny brown dots.
Nina paused and set the watering can down.
The small wooden brush waited beside the smooth stone path.
Its fine bristles worked on small detail at the edge.
She swept the branch away and drew a small ridge.
She brushed stray soil back into the small planted bed.
She lifted the small wooden watering can again.
One gentle pour circled the bean sprout and stayed.
A thin damp ring formed around the small green stem.
"The leaf is shiny," Nina said, eyes wide.
A last drip left the spout and tapped the soil.
繁體中文 Translation
妮娜和奶奶站在小小的種植床旁邊。
濕潤泥土的氣味從柔軟的黑土升起。
矮樹籬旁站著一座小小的石製雕塑家雕像。
小木製噴壺放在邊緣。
「我現在可以澆了。」妮娜輕聲說。
她把它提起,感到水的重量。
緩慢柔和的水流從小噴頭落下。
柔軟的黑土先托住水,然後讓它下滲。
一株小小的豆芽立在光滑石板路旁。
樹籬那邊傳來輕輕的一聲響。
一根乾的小樹枝掉在石頭邊上。
水滴碰到它,連成一條細線。
細線沿著樹枝跑到石板路上。
露水和灰塵混在一起,留下小小的棕點。
妮娜停一下,把木製噴壺放下。
小木刷放在光滑石板路旁。
它細緻的刷毛用在邊緣的小細節上。
她把樹枝掃開,又刷出一條小小的土脊。
她把散落的土刷回小小的種植床。
她又提起小木製噴壺。
輕輕一澆,水圈住豆芽並留在原地。
細薄的濕圈出現在小小的綠莖周圍。
「葉子亮亮的。」妮娜睜大眼說。
最後一滴從噴頭落下,輕點在泥土上。
