Quiet Pond Surprise- 適合初學者的英語短篇故事

Tim walks under quiet night. A soft cloud covers moonlight. The path turns almost dark. Tim points his small torch. A narrow secret track bends. He looks for a green frog. Rustling grass moves near water. Tim steps closer to pond. A loud splash rings out. Tiny insects dance above water. Cool air brushes his face. Reeds sway with gentle rhythm. Tim listens to each sound.

An owl glides over trees. Its wings beat soft air. The beam meets shiny eyes. A small frog hops out. Water splashes under its jump. Tim lowers the bright torch. Sudden motion shakes the reeds. The owl lifts into dark. Moonlight returns through thin cloud. Tim kneels near the frog. Ripples widen across the pond. The frog stays still.

提姆在靜靜的夜色中行走。一片柔軟的雲遮住月光。小路逐漸變暗。提姆舉著小手電筒。狹窄又隱密的小徑彎曲向前。他正在尋找一隻綠色青蛙。沙沙的草在水邊搖動。提姆靠近池塘。突然一聲水響傳出。細小的昆蟲在水面上飛舞。涼爽的空氣輕拂他的臉。蘆葦隨著輕柔的節奏擺動。提姆專注聆聽每一個聲音。

一隻貓頭鷹掠過樹梢。牠的雙翼拍動柔和空氣。手電光束照到閃亮的雙眼。一隻小青蛙跳了出來。水花在牠一躍之下濺起。提姆放低明亮的手電。突然的動作讓蘆葦搖晃。貓頭鷹飛回黑暗中。月光穿過薄雲再度落下。提姆跪在青蛙旁。漣漪在池面擴散開去。青蛙安靜不動。
