Pier Surprise- 適合初級的英語短篇故事

Luis carried a clear jar along the wooden pier.

He planned to catch tiny plankton for afternoon study.

A small magnifier bounced in his pocket like hidden treasure.

Waves slapped the posts and spread salty spray around him.

Laughter rose nearby, and enjoyment filled the afternoon.

He reached the end and lowered the jar with care.

Sudden wind swung the rope and knocked his balance off.

The jar slipped, hit a bucket, and tipped fresh seaweed.

Seaweed splashed across the boards and slid toward another child.

That child stepped back, bumped a crate, and released a rope.

The loose rope caught Luis's ankle and stopped his fall.

Water filled the jar now resting between two planks.

Plankton twinkled under sunlight inside the shaking container.

Luis knelt, slid the jar closer, and checked the sample.

Nearby, a visiting scientist watched the small recovery.

The visiting scientist moved with expert care around puddles.

Luis lifted the jar, water glimmered, and seaweed floated gently.

Spray eased, and the pier settled into quiet motion.

He placed the jar inside his backpack carefully.

路易斯拿著一個透明瓶子走在木質碼頭上。

他打算捕捉些微小浮游生物，下午要觀察。

一個小型放大鏡像寶物般在他口袋裡跳動。

海浪拍打支柱，鹹味水花四散。

不遠處傳來笑聲，整個午後充滿歡樂。

他走到盡頭，小心地把瓶子放進水面。

突然一陣風擺動繩索，讓他身形不穩。

瓶子滑落，撞到水桶，翻出一把新鮮海藻。

海藻濺到木板上，又滑向另一個孩子。

那孩子往後退，撞到箱子，鬆開一條繩子。

鬆脫的繩子纏住路易斯腳踝，阻止他摔倒。

此刻瓶子卡在兩塊板縫間，已注滿海水。

陽光下，浮游生物在搖晃的瓶中閃閃發亮。

路易斯跪下，把瓶子拉近，查看成果。

附近一位來訪科學家注視著這場小小救援。

這位科學家踏過水漬的動作俐落專業。

路易斯舉起瓶子，水面映光，海藻輕輕漂浮。

水花漸止，碼頭恢復平靜節奏。

他把瓶子仔細收進背包。
