The Paper Frog Slides- 適合初學者的英語短篇故事

What moves outside the window? Ingrid steps to the glass. Grey rain taps the pane. The room smells of fresh paint. Soft carpet warms her feet. Chalk dust rests on the ledge. "Good morning," the teacher says. Drops race down in lines. The rainy view stays unclear. She turns toward the shelves. Crayons sit bright in a tin. A bright rose poster hangs nearby. Buttons click in a shallow box. Rain makes a distant clap. Books leave a narrow gap. She bends and looks through. Bright light falls on paper. A green frog shape shifts. It slides off the table. Ingrid shows a quick smile. A small sparrow lands outside.

窗外在動的是什麼？英格麗走到玻璃前。灰色雨點輕敲窗面。教室裡有新漆的味道。柔軟地毯溫暖她的腳。粉筆灰停在黑板架上。「早安。」老師說。雨珠成線往下奔跑。雨水讓視線依然模糊。她轉向書架。蠟筆閃亮地放在鐵盒裡。一張亮玫瑰色海報掛在旁邊。鈕扣在淺盒裡發出喀噠聲。雨聲傳來遙遠的拍擊。書本留下狹窄的縫隙。她彎身透過縫隙張望。明亮光線落在紙上。一隻綠色摺紙青蛙動了動。它滑下桌面。英格麗露出快速的微笑。一隻小麻雀落在窗外。
