Milk in the Jar- 適合初級的英語短篇故事

Soft morning light touched the narrow street.

Tom rolled his bicycle outside the small dairy shop.

A wooden box of chilled milk bottles balanced inside.

The ride would deliver fresh bottles before the sun grew strong.

He wiped the seat, then jumped on with quick ease.

The shopkeeper waved as Tom pedaled toward River Street café.

A pebble suddenly slipped under the front wheel near market stalls.

The bicycle jerked; the box tilted to one side.

Two bottles clinked, and white drops splashed over the road.

A sleepy cat sprang away as cool liquid touched paws.

Tom steadied the handlebars and pressed both feet on ground.

He lifted the box, checked each bottle, and sighed aloud.

Only one bottle cracked; milk leaked through a small line.

A woman selling bread offered an empty jar with quick hands.

Tom poured the dripping milk into the jar carefully.

She wrapped the jar, then placed it back beside the others.

Tom grinned, lifted one hand, and waved joyfully in thanks.

The cat sniffed the small puddle and padded away.

Tires turned again; the café walls appeared at the corner.

Warm bread scent crossed Tom’s path as he entered the gate.

He parked, lifted the box, and walked toward the kitchen.

He set the bottles on the counter.

清晨的陽光照在狹窄的街道上。

湯姆把腳踏車推到小乳品店外。

一個木箱裡放著冰涼的牛奶瓶。

這趟路程要在太陽變熱前送完牛奶。

他擦了擦坐墊，俐落地跨上車。

店員揮手，看著湯姆騎向河街咖啡館。

市場攤前，一顆小石子突然滑到前輪下。

腳踏車猛地一晃，木箱向一側傾斜。

兩個瓶子碰撞，白色液體灑在路面。

一隻打瞌睡的貓被冰涼的觸感嚇得跳開。

湯姆握穩車把，雙腳踩在地面。

他提起木箱，檢查每個瓶子，長出口氣。

只有一瓶裂開，牛奶沿著細痕滲出。

賣麵包的女子快速遞來一個空罐子。

湯姆小心地把滴落的牛奶倒進罐子裡。

她包好罐子，再放回其他瓶子旁。

湯姆咧嘴笑，舉手開心地致謝。

那隻貓聞了聞小水漥，慢慢走遠。

車輪再次轉動，咖啡館牆面出現在轉角。

溫暖的麵包香飄過，他推門進入。

他停好車，提著木箱，走向廚房。

他把牛奶瓶放到櫃檯上。
