The Half-Painted Goose Picture- 適合初學者的英語短篇故事

A paper corner lifts inside.

Dorian steps toward the art desk.

Wet colour pools on one goose wing.

Warm air from the vent dries it slowly.

The picture stays half bright yellow.

Next to it rests a thick page.

The page comes from a joke book.

Tiny squares show a funny goose dance.

The ink still gleams from fresh print.

A small clay hedgehog sits nearby.

Clear glue turns cloudy around its back.

Moisture in the air keeps it soft.

The page tip folds over the picture.

Dorian tilts his head and the view clears.

Dorian looks again at the goose picture.

The wet shine now shrinks, colour widens further.

One feather edge dries flat and dull.

A chalk dust line slides down.

It breaks, leaves a pale trail.

Dorian watches the slow drift.

It stays on the green surface.

The paper corner lifts higher, then settles.

一角紙片在室內掀起。

Dorian 走向美術桌。

溼顏料在一隻鵝翅上聚成水汪。

通風口的暖風吹乾它。

畫面現在只乾了一半、呈現亮黃色。

旁邊放著一張厚紙。

那張紙來自笑話書。

小格子裡是一隻滑稽的鵝在跳舞。

新印的墨水仍然閃亮。

一隻小黏土刺蝟就在附近。

透明膠水在牠背上變得混濁。

空氣中的濕氣讓牠保持柔軟。

紙頁尖翻到圖畫上。

Dorian 歪頭，視線重新變清楚。

Dorian 再次看向那隻鵝的畫。

潮濕的亮面縮小，顏色向外擴散。

一根羽毛邊緣乾扁而暗。

板邊有一道粉筆灰滑落。

它斷開，留下淡痕。

Dorian 盯著緩慢的落塵。

灰停在綠色表面。

那角紙片抬得更高，然後靜靜落下。
