Runaway Water- 適合初級的英語短篇故事

Lina opened the yard tap and water rushed out fast.

Soft morning light filled the yard.

She wanted one full bucket for the teacher craft workshop.

The stream hit the metal bucket and jumped over the edge.

It landed on loose sand and formed a bright puddle.

The puddle slipped under a low table with plentiful fruit trays.

A lemon rolled first, then grapes followed in a small wave.

The rolling fruit surprised Lina and sprayed drops onto her shoes.

Cool wind passed through the open door and pushed the puddle further.

The moving water reached a stack of paper cups for the seminar.

Cups tipped, fell, and drifted across the shiny floor.

Lina lifted the bucket upright, but water kept escaping around it.

She turned the tap harder and the stream finally slowed down.

Remaining water pooled near the door and stopped against a broom handle.

A final orange bumped the broom and stayed beside her ankle.

Water slid back through a floor crack toward the garden drain.

Lina 打開院子裡的水龍頭，水立刻衝了出來。

柔和的晨光灑滿院子。

她想裝滿一桶水，好在老師的手作工作坊使用。

水流撞到金屬桶，然後越過桶緣跳落。

它落在鬆軟的沙地上，形成一道亮亮的水窪。

水窪滑到一張矮桌下，桌上放著許多水果盤。

一顆檸檬先滾出來，接著葡萄跟著小小水浪滑動。

翻滾的水果嚇到 Lina，水滴濺到她的鞋面。

涼風穿過敞開的門，將水窪推得更遠。

流動的水碰到放給研討會使用的一疊紙杯。

紙杯傾倒、跌落，沿著光滑的地面漂動。

Lina 把水桶扶正，但水仍從周圍逃離。

她再用力關緊水龍頭，水流終於慢了下來。

剩下的水聚在門邊，抵在一支掃把柄上。

最後一顆柳橙撞到掃把，停在她腳踝旁。

水沿著地板的裂縫滑回花園的排水口。
