Cake, Sticker, and a Quick Save- 適合初級的英語短篇故事

Milo carried a small cake across the busy square.

He wanted to deliver it before the candles cooled.

A guy on a skateboard whirled past him without warning.

The board clipped his shoe and jolted the cake box.

The lid flipped open; sweet air rushed into the wind.

The cake slid toward the fountain rim beside the path.

Milo lunged forward and caught the base with one hand.

Icing splashed his shirt, leaving blue spots across the buttons.

The skateboard rolled farther, bumped a bench, and tipped a cup.

Warm cocoa streamed along the stone and reached Milo’s shoes.

He jumped back; the cake wobbled but stayed in place.

A passing sparrow landed and pecked a loose tasty crumb.

That quick bird action gave Milo an unusual idea.

He noticed a rare silver sticker stuck under the base.

It marked a secret bakery contest hidden for lucky carriers.

Milo straightened his back and held the box proud.

Activity in the square slowed again as wheels stopped and cocoa dried.

He crossed the street and placed the cake on a table.

Blue jam sparkled, and the tasty smell filled the room.

Beside the jam the rare sticker gleamed under the light.

Milo closed the wooden door behind him carefully.

米洛捧著一個小蛋糕穿過熱鬧的廣場。

他想在蠟燭冷掉前送到。

突然，一名滑板男孩毫無預警地從旁衝過。

滑板擦到他的鞋，蛋糕盒被晃動。

盒蓋翻開，甜甜的香氣飄進風裡。

蛋糕滑向小路旁噴泉的圍沿。

米洛猛地向前伸手，一把抓住蛋糕底部。

糖霜濺到他的襯衫，在扣子間留下藍點。

滑板繼續前衝，撞到長椅，打翻一只紙杯。

溫熱的可可沿石板流動，淹到米洛的鞋。

他跳開，蛋糕搖晃卻安然無恙。

一隻經過的麻雀停下，啄走一粒可口的麵包屑。

這迅速的小動作讓米洛想到一個點子。

他發現蛋糕底下黏著一張罕見的銀色貼紙。

那是給幸運搬運者的秘密烘焙比賽標誌。

米洛挺直背，驕傲地舉著盒子繼續走。

廣場的動靜再度放緩，輪子停住，可可乾涸。

他穿過街道，把蛋糕放到桌上。

藍色果醬閃亮，香味充滿房間。

貼紙在燈光下閃著銀光。

米洛小心地關上木門。
