The Lemonade Splash- 適合初級的英語短篇故事

Nina spread bright chalk on the courtyard stones.

She planned a huge picture for her cousin Sam.

Curved blue lines would illustrate a wide river around a castle.

Soft light fell across the garden stones.

A small table held lemonade, a cookie, and an umbrella.

The umbrella leaned closed, waiting for any quick rain.

Above, one cloud moved in front of the sun.

The air cooled, and wind slid through the courtyard.

The wind pushed the umbrella over the table edge.

Its handle hit the glass; golden lemonade splashed onto the drawing.

Drops ran along the blue river and mixed the colors.

She swallowed the last cookie crumb quickly.

Wet spots spread, changing the castle into a tall bird.

Feathers grew where towers once stood.

At that moment, a visitor stepped through the gate.

Sam arrived early and stared at the unexpected bird picture.

Nina smiled and added wings to illustrate the new idea.

Chalk dust settled as both cousins watched the colors dry.

The umbrella lay quiet beside the empty table.

妮娜在庭院的石板上攤開彩色粉筆。

她打算為表哥山姆畫一幅巨大的圖。

彎曲的藍線繪出一條寬河，環繞著一座城堡。

柔和的光線落在花園石板上。

一張小桌子上放著檸檬水、餅乾和一把傘。

傘合著身，靠在桌邊，像是在等突來的雨。

上方，一朵雲飄到太陽前。

空氣變涼，風滑過庭院。

風把傘推到桌邊之外。

傘柄撞到玻璃杯，金黃檸檬水潑到畫上。

水滴沿藍河流動，把顏色混在一起。

她快速吞下最後一口餅乾屑。

濕痕擴散，把城堡變成一隻高鳥。

羽毛在昔日的塔樓位置長出。

就在這時，一位訪客走進大門。

山姆提早到來，盯著那幅意外的鳥圖。

妮娜笑著，又加上翅膀，用粉筆補充這個新點子。

粉筆灰落下，兩個表兄妹望著顏色逐漸乾透。

傘靜靜躺在空桌旁。
