When the Parrot Drops- 適合初學者的英語短篇故事

Warm wood presses under Viola's palm.

She sits on the bench edge.

It is bright morning.

A round marble glints beside her shoe.

The marble is perfectly spherical.

Blue and green swirl inside.

The swirl looks like a tiny planet.

Tiny white dots crowd the little universe.

Viola reaches for the marble.

A gentle kick from her shoe taps it.

The marble rolls off the stone.

It splashes into the shallow puddle.

Clear water hides the bright colors.

She picks a long twig quickly.

She slides the twig under it.

Water pushes back with small ripples.

The marble lifts onto the grass.

Another child claps and says, "Nice!"

A small toy parrot falls from their pocket.

Feathers of plastic shine beside the marble.

The two objects lie still together.

A duck quacks near the pond.

The sound stays gentle around them.

溫熱的木頭貼在維奧拉的手掌下。

她坐在長椅邊緣。

早晨很明亮。

一顆圓圓的彈珠在她鞋旁閃光。

彈珠完美地呈球形。

裡面旋著藍綠色。

漩渦像一顆小行星。

細小白點擠滿那小小宇宙。

維奧拉伸手去拿彈珠。

她的鞋輕輕一碰把它踢開。

彈珠滾下石頭。

它濺進淺水坑。

清水遮住亮麗的顏色。

她迅速撿起一根長樹枝。

她把樹枝滑到它下面。

水面起了小波紋抵住她。

彈珠被撐到草地上。

另一名孩子拍手說：「真棒！」

一隻小玩具鸚鵡從他們口袋掉出。

塑膠羽毛在彈珠旁閃亮。

兩個物件一起靜靜躺著。

池塘旁一隻鴨子呱呱叫。

聲音在他們周圍輕輕停留。
