The Wobbly Pots- 適合初級的英語短篇故事

Leo pushed the gate and stepped into the city garden.

His small companion, a spotted dog, trotted close behind him.

They wanted to explore the new row of wooden planters.

Warm noon light filled the quiet space.

Leo leaned over a tall pot and touched fresh mint leaves.

The pot rocked, then his elbow struck a hanging watering can.

Water poured out and splashed across a line of busy ants.

The surprised ants scattered, climbing a nearby bean vine in seconds.

Leaves shook, and a resting sparrow bounced to a higher twig.

The sudden motion sent loose seeds toward three stacked clay pots.

The top pot rolled off and rattled across smooth stones.

Leo gasped; his dog barked in a sharp voice.

A nearby gardener turned and placed a boot before the spinning pot.

The pot bumped the boot and stopped, saving the tender seedlings.

Leo clapped in quiet delight while water still trickled into a drain.

A thin stream curved around a brick and slipped toward the gutter.

里奧推開小門，走進城市花園。

他的小夥伴，一隻斑點狗，跟在他身旁小跑。

他們想探索那排新的木製花槽。

正午的溫暖陽光灑滿安靜的空間。

里奧俯身碰觸一株高罐裡的新鮮薄荷葉。

花盆晃動，他的手肘撞到懸掛的澆水壺。

水灑出來，濺到一列忙碌的螞蟻身上。

受驚的螞蟻四散，幾秒內爬上附近的扁豆藤。

葉子搖動，一隻休息的麻雀彈跳到更高的枝條。

突然的動作把鬆動的種子推向三個堆疊的陶盆。

最上面的花盆滾落，沿著光滑石頭叮噹作響。

里奧倒吸一口氣，狗發出尖銳的叫聲。

附近的園丁轉身，把靴子擋在旋轉的花盆前。

花盆撞到靴子停下，保住了嫩芽。

里奧悄悄鼓掌，喜悅中水仍流進排水口。

一道細水彎過磚塊，滑向屋簷下的水溝。
