The Sprinkler Starts and Soaks the Basket - 適合初級的英文短篇故事，含中譯與發音

The basket handle felt rough in Ella's hands.

Cool air moved through the open shed.

She and Otto walked to the garden bed.

They wanted a red tomato for their salad.

Clusters hung low, and many fruits ripened on vines.

Ella hoped the biggest one was ready today.

She bent close and touched the smooth skin.

Ella whispered, 'Over here, the red one.'

Otto said, 'I see it. It looks firm.'

Ella set the basket on a curled garden hose.

She reached up, and her sleeve brushed a leaf.

The basket slid, the kink straightened, and water rushed.

The sprinkler started and sprayed their shoes.

Cold drops hit the soil and made quick puddles.

Mud felt yucky on Ella's hands and wrists.

They stepped back, but the spray reached the basket.

Otto ran to the faucet and turned the handle.

The stream slowed, and the sprinkler stopped.

He lifted the basket under the hose and rinsed gently.

They agreed to wash the big tomato first.

Ella held the vine steady, and Otto picked it.

Water ran clear, and the skin shone like glass.

Ella breathed out and gave a small nod.

Otto set the clean tomato into the basket.

籃子的握把在艾拉手中有些粗糙。

涼涼的空氣從打開的工具棚吹進來。

她和奧托走到菜園的畦邊。

他們想要一顆紅色的番茄做沙拉。

果串垂得很低，許多番茄正慢慢轉紅。

艾拉希望最大那顆今天已經成熟。

她俯身靠近，摸了摸平滑的表皮。

艾拉輕聲說：「在這裡，那顆紅的。」

奧托說：「我看到了。看起來很結實。」

艾拉把籃子放在捲曲的水管上。

她伸手向上，袖子擦到一片葉子。

籃子滑動，折痕拉直，水便急速流出。

灑水器啟動了，水花濺到他們的鞋。

冰冷的水滴打在土上，立刻形成水窪。

泥巴黏在艾拉的手和手腕上，感覺好髒。

他們後退了一步，但水花仍打到籃子。

奧托跑到水龍頭，轉動了把手。

水流變慢了，灑水器也停下來。

他把籃子舉到水管下，輕輕沖洗。

他們同意先把大番茄洗乾淨。

艾拉扶住藤蔓不動，奧托把它摘下。

清水流過，表皮發亮，像玻璃一樣。

艾拉吐口氣，微微點了點頭。

奧托把乾淨的番茄放進籃子裡。
