Hi, I am John Doe. I love stories. Even now, I still read stories all the time. Reading while listening to a story is an enjoyable way for you to learn new words and improve your English.

21: 小女孩
The Little Girl

After four unproductive hours of 'study'at the library, Sean went home. He put on the brand-new dress shirt his mother bought him for the occasion, a pair of dark gray pants, and shiny black leather shoes. Sean was ready for dinner at Top Up. He was looking forward to seeing the panoramic view of the city from the 901 Tower, but he was more eager to see Molly again, even though he told himself this was not a 'date'.
Since it was early Saturday evening, not many people were taking the train downtown. And unlike his usual habit of reading his textbooks while waiting on the platform, that evening Sean just stood and waited for the train, casually observing other travelers.
He noticed a little girl in a white dress nearby. She was about four years old and was holding a little wild flower. She was happily singing and dancing around a young woman who was talking on the phone. Then Sean saw headlights approaching. It was their train. "The mother should really hold the little girl's hand," thought Sean.
The next few seconds seemed to go by in slow motion. The little girl's flower flew from her hand. She chased after it. She chased it right to the edge of the platform. The train was still traveling quite fast as it pulled into the station. A loud, metallic, screeching sound came from the train. The driver tried desperately to stop the train. To Sean's horror, the little girl fell to the tracks one-and-a-half meters below. The young woman who was with the child screamed. Everyone else on the platform gasped. They could all tell. The train was moving too fast to stop in time.
