Camera Splash at Sunrise- 適合初級的英語短篇故事

Liam stood on the still quiet beach before dawn.

He wanted to swim across the shallow lagoon toward a moored yacht.

A camera hung around his neck, lightly bouncing against his chest.

He stepped into the water and pushed through soft ripples.

A hidden starfish gripped his ankle and stopped his kick.

His foot jerked sideways and splashed water onto a nearby sandcastle.

The sandcastle collapsed, sending pebbles rolling down the tiny slope.

One pebble struck Liam's camera, and the lens cap popped off.

He chuckled, slipped the starfish into water, and reached for the cap.

A small wave slowly carried the cap away beyond his fingertips.

It drifted beside the yacht, making a bright circle on blue water.

Liam lifted his camera and captured the scene before movement stopped.

The photo showed yacht, cap, and a tiny orange sparkle.

He lowered the camera and stepped back onto warm sand.

黎明前，利亞姆站在寧靜的沙灘上。他想從淺淺的潟湖游到停泊的遊艇。他的相機掛在脖子上，輕輕碰著胸口。他走進水裡，推開柔軟的波紋。一隱藏的海星抓住他的腳踝，讓他踢水停住。他的腳猛地側滑，水花濺落在一旁的小沙堡。沙堡倒塌，小石子滾下微斜的坡面。一顆石子打到相機，鏡頭蓋彈開。

他輕笑一聲，把海星放回水裡，伸手去撿蓋子。一個小浪慢慢把蓋子帶走，超過他的指尖。蓋子漂到遊艇旁，在藍水上畫出明亮圓環。利亞姆舉起相機，在動作停下前拍下畫面。照片中的遊艇、蓋子和一抹橙色光點同時入鏡。他放下相機，踏回溫暖的沙地。
