What the Stones Caught- 適合初級的英語短篇故事

Gwen walks to the park with her small sketch pad.

Friends call Gwen a young artist, yet she still practices.

She hopes to draw the majestic oak near the pond.

Bright sunlight covers the grass, making dark shapes under each branch.

Warm air moves across the calm water.

A cloud slides over the sun, and the ground turns gray.

The gentle light now blurs the sharp edges of the tree.

After a moment, the cloud drifts away, and bright lines return.

Gwen notices the pattern in the changing shadow on the grass.

During the next bright wave, she spreads clear paper under the trunk.

She quickly places small stones along the strong shadow outline.

Shade returns when a second cloud passes above the park.

The softer light lets her trace between the stones without glare.

She works fast; her pencil moves from stone to stone.

Sunlight flashes back, and the drawing shows a lovely dark shape.

Gwen smiles and admires the clean lines around the mighty oak.

She sets the paper beside her shoes on the grass.

Light and shade continue to trade places above the calm pond.

格溫帶著小素描本走到公園。

朋友們稱格溫是年輕的藝術家，但她仍在練習。

她想畫池塘邊那棵雄偉的橡樹。

明亮的陽光覆蓋草地，樹枝下出現深色圖案。

溫暖的空氣掠過平靜的水面。

雲朵遮住太陽，地面變得灰暗。

柔和的光線模糊了樹的清晰邊緣。

片刻後，雲朵移開，明亮線條再次出現。

格溫注意到草地上變化的影子圖樣。

下一波強光來臨時，她在樹幹下鋪開透明紙。

她迅速把小石頭放在清晰影子的邊線上。

第二片雲飄過公園時，陰影又回來了。

較柔和的光讓她能在石頭間描線而不刺眼。

她動作很快，鉛筆在石頭之間移動。

陽光再度閃現，畫中呈現可愛而深色的形狀。

格溫微笑，欣賞包圍雄偉橡樹的俐落線條。

她把畫紙放在腳邊的草地上。

光影仍在平靜的池塘上交替。
