Flour on Butterfly Wings- 適合初學者的英語短篇故事

Why does the tap drip today? Reese stands in the bright kitchen. Soap smell floats near her nose. Her big sister Yolanda dries plates. Yolanda says, "Take the blue cup." Reese works as a small helper. She reaches for the wet cloth. A ring mark waits on the counter. The cloth slips from her hand. It falls into soft flour dust. Flour sticks and makes a white cloud. Reese laughs and steps back quickly.

A bright butterfly darts through the window. Its wings brush the flour cloud. White dots land on the wings. The insect rests on Yolanda's flower apron. The pattern looks even more smart now. Yolanda blinks at the dusty wings. She opens the window wider slowly. The butterfly lifts and drifts outside. Flour still floats in the light. The wet cloth lies on the floor. Everything stays quiet and bright.

為什麼水龍頭今天一直滴水？Reese 站在明亮的廚房裡。肥皂香味飄到她的鼻尖。她的大姊 Yolanda 正在擦盤子。Yolanda 說：「拿藍色杯子。」Reese 像小幫手般忙著動作。她伸手去拿濕布。檯面上有一道圓圈痕。布從她手中滑落。它掉進鬆散的麵粉裡。麵粉黏起來，揚起白霧。Reese 笑著往後小步退。

一隻亮麗的蝴蝶飛進窗邊。它的翅膀掠過麵粉霧。白點落在翅膀上。蝴蝶停在 Yolanda 的花朵圍裙上。圖案現在看起來更俐落。Yolanda 眨眼看著沾粉的翅膀。她慢慢把窗戶推得更開。蝴蝶振翅飄出窗外。光線中仍懸著麵粉顆粒。濕布靜靜躺在地上。一切明亮而安靜。
