Feather, Fence, and Dripping Bucket- 適合初學者的英語短篇故事

What makes these gray scratches?

Elowen stands beside the fence.

The air smells of grass.

A rough gate post leans inward.

Faded lines cross its surface.

A small fishing hat hangs there.

Morning light rests on damp wood.

Dew beads sparkle and slide slowly.

Inside the nest box, a dozen eggs rest.

The rail blocks Elowen's clear view.

She rises slowly onto tiptoes.

Her boots press the crunchy grass.

Now the eggs show pale speckles.

Wanda smiles and speaks quietly.

Wanda says, "Old hens once pecked here."

Wanda gives Elowen a soft pat.

Sunlight flashes on the distant kitchen window.

A feather circles above the bowl.

It drifts lower, lower, lower.

Water from the tipped bucket drips.

這些灰色刮痕是怎麼來的？

艾洛雯站在柵欄旁。

空氣帶著青草味。

一根粗糙的閘門柱向內傾。

舊痕斑駁地橫跨其表面。

一頂小釣魚帽掛在那裡。

晨光靜靜覆在潮濕木頭上。

露珠閃耀，慢慢滑落。

巢箱裡，十二顆蛋安靜躺著。

橫桿擋住艾洛雯的清晰視線。

她慢慢踮腳。

靴子壓在嘎吱作響的草上。

現在，蛋上淡點清晰可見。

汪達微笑，輕聲說話。

汪達說：「以前母雞在這裡啄木。」

汪達輕拍艾洛雯的肩。

陽光在遠處的廚房窗上閃動。

一片羽毛在水碗上方盤旋。

它愈來愈低，愈來愈低。

翻倒水桶的水聲滴答作響。
