The Rolling Pens- 適合初級的英語短篇故事

Morning light filled the quiet corridor outside the office.

Leo, a quiet student, carried his maths homework in a thin folder.

He wanted to deliver it before the bell rang.

The teacher often checked early work during first break.

So Leo pushed the office door with a gentle hand.

A tall stack of folders rested near the desk edge.

The door brushed the desk, and the folders started sliding.

They bumped a metal cup; several pens rolled across papers.

Loose pages fluttered down and spread across the smooth floor.

Leo gasped and quickly stepped back.

Pens tapped the tiles, making small echoes.

He dropped his folder but caught it before papers escaped.

He kneeled, gathered the scattered sheets, and aligned their corners.

A yellow paper clip rested near the keyboard.

He used it to lock the pages into one pile.

Then he placed the folders back, leaving space for movement.

His own homework now lay safely on top.

A short comment in red ink rested beside his name.

Footsteps sounded in the corridor; the bell rang outside.

Leo closed the door and walked toward his class.

晨光灑滿安靜的走廊，辦公室就在前方。

里奧是一名安靜的學生，他帶著數學作業夾在薄薄的資料夾裡。

他想在鈴聲響前把作業交出去。

那位老師常在第一節課前查看提早繳交的作業。

於是里奧輕推辦公室的門。

桌邊放著一疊高高的資料夾，邊緣懸在空中。

門輕碰桌面，資料夾開始滑動。

它們撞到金屬筆杯，好幾支原子筆滾過紙張。

鬆散的頁面落下，散在平滑的地板上。

里奧倒抽一口氣並迅速後退。

筆碰擊磁磚，發出細小回聲。

他差點丟落資料夾，但在紙張散開前抓住了它。

他跪下來，把散落的紙張收齊，對準邊角。

鍵盤旁放著一個黃色長尾夾。

他用它把頁面夾成一疊。

然後他把資料夾放回原位，留出轉動的空間。

自己的作業現在安全地躺在最上方。

紅筆寫的簡短批注停在自己名字旁邊。

走廊裡傳來腳步聲，外面的鈴聲響起。

里奧合上門，朝教室走去。
