Cat Tips the Prop and the Prize Rolls - 適合初級的英文短篇故事，含中譯與發音

Fresh lines pressed in the sandbox: one large, one small.

A gray cat sniffed the new footprint and followed it.

It moved toward bright colors and a soft rattle nearby.

Its ears turned toward a low clack beyond the path.

Warm sunshine lay across the short grass.

A short prop held the box lid open.

A pinwheel stood in a jar of sand nearby.

A small paper cup of sand sat by the box.

A small ribbon prize rested inside the box.

The cat nosed the table leg and paused in shade.

Its back brushed the prop, and the prop slipped free.

The lid dropped and bumped the paper cup of sand.

The cup tipped and spilled a thin line of sand.

Grains slid under a paw and made a fresh footprint.

The pinwheel spun once and then rested against the jar.

The ribbon prize rolled from the box and made a clink.

"Oh! Hi, cat," Yasmin said. "I see you under there."

Blythe stood near the table and tilted her head.

She pointed at the jar. "Sand moved when that lid fell."

The cat lowered its belly and turned its whiskers aside.

It stepped past the sand and slipped under the fence.

沙箱裡有新壓出的線條：一個大，一個小。

一隻灰貓聞了新的腳印，然後跟著走。

牠朝著鮮豔的顏色走去，旁邊傳來輕輕的碰聲。

牠的耳朵轉向小路外的一聲輕響。

溫暖的陽光鋪在矮草上。

一支短木撐住盒子的蓋子。

旁邊一個沙罐裡插著一支風車。

盒子旁放著一個裝沙的小紙杯。

盒子裡放著一個小絲帶獎品。

貓用鼻子碰了桌腳，停在陰影裡。

牠的背擦到支撐物，那支撐就滑落了。

蓋子落下，撞到那個裝沙的紙杯。

紙杯傾斜，灑出一條細細的沙。

沙粒滑到一隻爪下，印出一個新的腳印。

風車轉了一圈，然後靠在罐邊。

那個絲帶獎品從盒子裡滾出來，發出輕輕一聲叮。

Yasmin說：「哦！嗨，小貓。我看見你在下面。」

Blythe站在桌旁，微微側著頭。

她指著那個罐子說：「蓋子掉下來時，沙子動了。」

貓壓低身子，把鬍鬚往旁邊一轉。

牠跨過沙子，鑽進了籬笆底下。
