Lily thought hard, repeating the riddle in her mind. Suddenly, Bella fluttered excitedly beside her. “I know the answer, Lily! It’s an echo!”
Lily’s face lit up with realization. “Yes, an echo!”
Orin nodded approvingly. “You are correct. Follow the path behind this tree, and you will find the treasure you seek.”
With hearts pounding in anticipation, Lily and Bella followed the path. It led them to a hidden clearing, where a small chest lay buried beneath a bed of flowers. Lily carefully opened the chest, revealing a collection of ancient coins, glittering jewels, and a beautifully bound book.
“This book contains stories of bravery, wisdom, and kindness,” Orin explained, having flown down to join them. “It is a treasure more valuable than gold, for it holds the lessons and adventures of those who came before you.”
Lily smiled, realizing the true value of the treasure. “Thank you, Orin. We’ll take these stories back with us and share them with everyone we know.”
As Lily and Bella made their way back home, they felt a deep sense of fulfillment. They had not only found a hidden treasure but also discovered the magic and wisdom of stories. They knew that the Secret Library held many more adventures, waiting for them to explore.
That night, as Lily drifted oƯ to sleep, she dreamed of all the stories she would share and the new adventures she and Bella would embark on. She knew that with every story, they were adding a little more magic to the world.
