The Flower That Fell- 適合初級的英語短篇故事

Late morning light covered the quiet park path.

A grey cat named Miko padded toward a wooden bench.

His whiskers pointed forward, and his tail stayed high.

Warm boards could give a calm midday sleep.

Reaching the seat became his clear goal.

A small brown dog already sprawled across the boards.

A silver tag hanging from the collar clicked softly.

The click stirred the dog; paws twitched upon the wood.

Miko stepped nearer, but the dog lifted its head.

Nose flaring, the dog rolled upright and blocked the seat.

Miko arched his back, then broke into a sudden sprint.

Paws beat the grass while collar metal rang behind.

The leash snapped tight; the bench shifted on uneven stones.

One clay pot trembled, tipped, and spilled a bright flower.

Petals scattered over loose soil beside the path.

The rope blocked the dog's escape, so barking stopped quickly.

Miko slowed, sniffed the warm mound, and settled inside it.

Sunlight stayed still while his ears twitched once.

Soil cradled him, and the bench creaked no more.

His eyes closed; paws tucked under soft chest fur.

清晨的陽光灑滿安靜的公園小徑。

一隻名叫米可的灰色貓咪走向木頭長椅。

牠的鬍鬚向前伸展，尾巴高高翹起。

溫熱的木板可以帶來午間的小睡。

佔據座位成了牠明確的目標。

一隻小棕狗早已橫躺在板子上。

項圈上掛著的銀色吊牌輕輕作響。

聲音吵醒了小狗；狗爪在木板上抽動。

米可又走近一步，但小狗抬起頭來。

鼻子動了動，小狗翻身坐起，擋住座位。

米可拱起背，突然開始衝刺。

貓爪拍打草地，項圈金屬聲在後方迴盪。

牽繩拉緊，長椅在不平的石頭上晃動。

一個陶盆顫抖、傾斜，灑出一朵鮮豔花朵。

花瓣散落在小徑旁的鬆土上。

繩子擋住了小狗的逃跑，牠很快停止吠叫。

米可放慢腳步，嗅嗅溫暖的土堆，然後鑽進其中。

陽光靜靜停留，牠的耳朵輕輕抖動。

土壤托住牠，長椅再也沒發出聲音。

牠閉上眼睛，爪子收在柔軟胸毛下。
