The Mysterious Key

2 of 8

2/5/2025

One rainy afternoon, Sam and Lily played near the old oak tree. As they dug in the soft ground, Sam found a small, rusty key. "Look at this!" Sam said. Lily wiped the key and pointed to an old wooden box near the tree roots. "Maybe this key opens that box!" Sam turned the key, and the box clicked open. Inside, they found a note: "To those who find this, always believe in the power of curiosity." They smiled. It wasn’t treasure, but it was a great adventure.
