A Twig Taps the Garden Gate- 適合初學者的英語短篇故事

Drip sounds fill the back garden. Morning light is pale yellow. Zev sits on the bench. He listens to quiet taps. A faint clink floats from the kitchen. Air carries a soft toast smell. The spoon lands, then stays still. A round puddle shines near Zev. Sun dots sparkle on the water. A falling leaf spins in a circle. The leaf slides across the puddle. Ripples touch the stone path edge. Its edge draws a circular mark on water. Zev gives a small shrug. Ants pass the wet trail quietly. A twig drops against the gate, think. The gate vibrates with tiny clicks. Birdsong rises above the fence.

滴水聲充滿後院。清晨的光線呈現柔和的淡黃色。Zev 坐在長凳上。他聽著安靜的滴答聲。廚房傳來微弱的叮噹聲。空氣帶來淡淡的烤麵包香。湯匙落下後便保持不動。一個圓形水坑在 Zev 身邊閃閃發亮。日光點在水面閃爍。一片落葉旋轉成圈。落葉滑過水坑。漣漪觸到石徑邊緣。水面上畫出環形痕跡。Zev 小幅聳肩。螞蟻靜靜穿過濕痕。一根小樹枝掉到門上，發出「think」聲。門因微震發出細小喀嗒聲。鳥鳴在籬笆上方響起。
