Clock Under the Boat- 適合初學者的英語短篇故事

Warm sand brushes Rafael's toes. He walks along quiet wet sand. Morning light spreads gentle gold. Gwen stands near a shallow pool. She calls, "Wow, a hammer shape!" An outline lies in wet sand there. Water beads along its edges. Breeze starts drying the shiny print. Rafael walks faster toward dark driftwood.

Beside it rests a box mark. Wet sand glues small grains inside. Gwen whispers, "Still wet, glistening." They move toward a tilted boat. Under it glimmers a tiny clock. The hour hand sticks in sand. Wet sand darkens the round face. Near the boat, green clover patches shimmer. The clock face now dries lighter.

溫暖的沙子輕擦拉斐爾的腳趾。他沿著安靜又濕潤的沙地走。清晨的光線灑下柔和的金色。格溫站在淺水坑旁。她喊：「哇，一個槌子形狀！」那裡的濕沙上留著一個輪廓。水珠沿著邊緣閃亮。微風開始吹乾閃亮的印痕。拉斐爾加快腳步走向深色浮木。

浮木旁邊有一個箱子印。濕沙把小沙粒黏在裡面。格溫低聲說：「還濕亮著。」他們走向一艘傾斜的小船。船下閃著一座小時鐘。時針插在沙裡。濕沙使圓面變暗。船旁的綠色酢漿草片閃耀。鐘面現在變得較淺。
