Cheese Stops the Slippery Noodles- 適合初學者的英語短篇故事

Morning light falls across the table.

Steam rises in a gentle wave.

A warm pasta plate sits before the child.

A small shell noodle rests on top.

A yarn thread hangs from the child's sleeve.

The child lifts a fork.

Noodles slide away.

The fork twists but slips again.

The grown-up smiles, looking happy.

"More cheese?" the grown-up asks.

The child nods.

Small flakes drop into the sauce.

The sauce thickens around the noodles.

The fork turns once more.

Now the noodles stay.

The child winds them neatly.

A corn kernel bumps the shell noodle.

Both pieces ride up together.

The child lifts the tidy swirl.

Sauce drips back through the fork gaps.

Ian walks past the table and hums.

晨光照在餐桌上。

蒸氣像輕柔的波浪往上飄。

一盤溫熱的義大利麵放在孩子面前。

一顆貝殼形麵條躺在最上面。

孩子袖子上垂著一條毛線。

孩子舉起叉子。

麵條滑開。

叉子再轉，還是滑。

大人笑著，看起來很開心。

「要多點起司嗎？」大人問。

孩子點頭。

細小的起司屑落進醬汁。

醬汁變稠，包住麵條。

叉子再轉一次。

這回麵條停住。

孩子把麵條捲得整整齊齊。

一粒玉米撞到那顆貝殼麵。

它們一起被帶起來。

孩子舉起小小麵團。

醬汁順著叉縫滴回盤中。

伊恩走過餐桌，輕聲哼唱著。
