The Rolling Pencil- 適合初級的英語短篇故事

Leo planned a visit to Green Valley Nature Park.

He carried a small sketchbook and bright yellow pencils.

A clear path crossed tall grass and smooth gray stones.

Water spray grew louder with every steady step forward.

Soon, the bright waterfall filled his view between green leaves.

He sat on a flat rock and opened the book.

Cool mist touched his arms and made tiny drops sparkle.

He reached for a pencil, but the pencil rolled away.

It knocked a pebble that slid down toward a brown acorn.

The moving acorn bumped a nearby squirrel resting on a root.

The squirrel sprang sideways and startled a sleeping hare.

The hare leaped across the rock and struck the sketchbook.

The book flipped, caught mist, and landed in a shallow pool.

Ink lines smudged, yet new waves formed on the wet page.

Leo turned pages slowly, watching shining patterns spread and join.

The accident created shapes that matched the real waterfall behind him.

He packed the damp sketchbook inside his small bag.

里歐計畫造訪綠谷自然公園。

他帶著一本小素描本和幾枝亮黃色鉛筆。

一條清晰的步道穿過高高的青草和光滑的灰石。

水霧的聲音越來越大，他每走一步就更響。

不久，明亮的瀑布在翠綠葉片間映入眼簾。

他坐在平坦的岩石上，打開了書。

清涼的水霧拂過他的手臂，細小水珠閃閃發光。

他伸手拿一枝鉛筆，但鉛筆滾走了。

它撞到一顆礫石，礫石又滑向一顆棕色橡實。

移動的橡實撞到樹根旁休息的松鼠。

松鼠彈到一邊，驚動了一隻正在打盹的野兔。

野兔跳過岩石，撞向素描本。

書翻了個身，沾著水霧，落入淺水凹處。

墨線暈開，濕頁上出現新的波形。

里歐慢慢翻頁，望著閃亮的圖樣擴散並交疊。

小意外竟畫出與身後瀑布相符的形狀。

他把濕潤的素描本收進小包。
