The Flyer That Glides to the Front Desk - 適合初學者的英文短篇故事，含中譯與發音

A thin flyer slides off the bookshelf. The librarian sits on a low stool. Her stamp taps once. "There it goes," she says. Zara steps from the carpet square. Her shoes press the soft pile. Short fibers bend. A warm patch still lies there. Dust turns slowly. The paper lands flat, then lifts. It begins to glide toward the tall windows.

It glides past the tall windows. Grey light pools on the floor. Raindrops race down the glass. Zara follows with quiet steps. Her hands stay by her sides. Glue smells sweet at the craft table. A bottle of milk sits on her desk. The parent volunteer fills small paint cups. A brush clinks a jar.

The flyer turns at the front desk. A dark picture shows moonlight on water. The paper slips under the desk edge. Name cards lie in a neat row. Zara leans and looks under. Eraser dust rests on the blackboard ledge. The flyer does not move now. She stands still by the desk. Rain taps the glass. The flyer sticks under the desk edge.

一張薄薄的傳單從書架上滑下來。圖書管理員坐在矮凳上。她的印章輕輕蓋一下。她說：「它過去了。」Zara 從地毯方塊上邁步。她的鞋壓著柔軟的毛面。短毛彎下來。那裡還留著一塊溫暖的區塊。細塵慢慢轉動。紙張平貼在地，接著抬起來。它開始朝高窗那邊滑行。

它滑過高窗前。灰色的光聚在地上。雨滴沿著玻璃往下跑。Zara 安靜地跟在後面。她的手放在身側。美術桌那裡有膠水甜甜的味道。她的桌上放著一瓶牛奶。家長志工正在裝滿小漆杯。一支刷子碰了一下玻璃罐。

傳單在前桌那裡轉向。一張深色的圖畫顯出水面上的月光。紙張滑到桌緣底下。名牌排成整齊一列。Zara 俯身往下看。黑板槽上落著橡皮屑。傳單現在不動了。她站在桌邊不動。雨點敲著玻璃。傳單卡在桌緣底下。
