Leaf Boat Slides Across the Puddle - 適合初學者的英文短篇故事，含中譯與發音

Cool water taps Finn's boots. The small yard is quiet. A tall person waits in the doorway. Past the gate, the wet street shines. "Nice leaf," the person says. Finn nods.

He places the leaf on the wide puddle. A happy smile lifts his cheeks. He pushes it with a short stick. The leaf spins and stops. He drops a pebble on the leaf. The leaf sinks fast. Finn lifts a second, broader leaf. He slides it onto the water. A roof drip lands and nudges the leaf. The leaf glides toward the drain grate. Ripples follow and kiss his boots. Cool water circles Finn's boots.

涼涼的水拍在Finn的靴子上。小院子很安靜。高個子大人在門口等著。門外的濕街道閃閃發亮。「漂亮的葉子，」那個人說。Finn點點頭。

他把葉子放到寬大的水窪上。一個開心的笑容浮在他臉上。他用一根短棍推葉子。葉子旋轉後停住。接著他把一顆小石頭放在葉子上。葉子立刻沉下去。Finn又拿起一片更大的葉子。他把它滑到水面上。屋簷的水滴落下，碰了一下葉子。葉子滑向排水口。漣漪跟在後面。涼涼的水圈住Finn的靴子。
