Corn Kernels Line Up by the Duckling - 適合初學者的英文短篇故事，含中譯與發音

Where can these small kernels go?

Finn sits at the table.

The warm plate rests on his place mat.

Steam curls silently over the noodles.

The grandmother sits across with a bread basket.

Her hands hold the basket handle.

A pale wall stands by Finn's chair.

Tomato sauce smells mild.

Finn's knees press the chair.

His rounded fork prongs touch warm sauce.

A dry ring clings at the rim.

He picks one yellow kernel.

It is bumpy and small.

He sets it near the plate edge.

A second kernel slides and rolls.

It pops off the prong onto the plate.

Finn uses a soft bread piece.

He blocks the roller with the bread.

Now two kernels sit in a line.

His chair back touches the wall.

He reaches toward his cup.

Condensation beads on the side.

A bead slides silently to the base.

A small animal picture sits on the place mat.

It is a duckling, near the cup.

Finn lines a third kernel by the duckling.

The grandmother says, "Bread for you, Finn."

He nods and keeps sorting.

He places a fourth kernel carefully.

One slice leans under the handle.

The row meets the bright sauce line.

Steam curls over the neat yellow row.

這些小玉米粒要放哪裡呢？

Finn 坐在餐桌前。

溫熱的盤子放在他的餐墊上。

蒸氣在麵上靜靜盤旋。

外婆坐在對面，前面放著麵包籃。

她的手握著籃子的把手。

Finn 椅子旁邊是一面淺色的牆。

番茄醬味道淡淡的。

Finn 的膝蓋頂著椅子。

他圓頭的叉齒碰到溫熱的醬汁。

盤緣貼著一圈乾掉的痕。

他夾起一顆黃色玉米粒。

它凸凸小小的。

他把它放在盤邊。

第二顆滑動又滾開。

它從叉齒彈開，掉回盤子。

Finn 拿一小塊柔軟的麵包。

他用麵包擋住愛滾的那顆。

現在兩顆排成一列。

他的椅背輕碰著牆。

他伸手向杯子。

杯身外側結著小水珠。

一顆水珠靜靜滑到杯底。

餐墊上有一個小動物圖案。

是一隻小鴨，就在杯邊。

Finn 把第三顆排在小鴨旁邊。

外婆說：「給你麵包，Finn。」

他點點頭，繼續排列。

他小心放上第四顆。

一片麵包靠著把手。

這一排貼著亮亮的醬線。

蒸氣在整齊的黃排上方盤旋。
