短文
-高阶版-
In a small town, there lived a woman named Ella. She had a
secret
that not many knew about. Every night, after the townspeople had retired to their beds, Ella would
see
a mysterious light coming from the old library. It
seemed
to
seldom
appear during the day, only making its presence known under the cover of darkness.
One night, driven by curiosity, Ella decided to investigate. She
sent
a message to her friend Lucy, asking if she wanted to join her on this adventure. Lucy, always up for a thrill, agreed immediately. Together, they made their way to the library, their hearts pounding with a mix of excitement and
serious
intent.
As they entered the musty library, they could
sense
a presence, almost as if the books themselves were watching them. Their eyes were drawn to a particular
shelf
that
seemed
different from the rest. It was
shaped
in an odd way, almost like it was hiding something.
"Do you think there's something behind it?" Lucy asked, her voice a whisper.
Ella nodded slowly, her mind racing with possibilities. She carefully began to
separate
the books from the
shelf
, revealing a hidden panel. With a
shake
of her hand, the panel gave way, revealing a dark passageway.
"We shouldn't go in there," Lucy said, her voice filled with
shame
for suggesting such a thing. But Ella was already through the opening, her curiosity getting the better of her.
The passageway led them to a hidden room filled with old books and artifacts. Ella's eyes
shone
with wonder as she realized that this was the town's lost treasure, hidden away for centuries. Among the artifacts was a
set
of ancient coins,
several
scrolls, a mysterious
ship
in a bottle, and a model of a
shark
, rumored to have been
sold
to a sailor long ago.
Suddenly, they heard a noise behind them. Turning around, they saw the town's librarian, Mr. Smith. He looked at them with a mixture of surprise and amusement.
"I
see
you've found our little
secret
," he said with a smile. "This room has been hidden for generations, only to be discovered by those who
seek
knowledge beyond what is offered on the surface."
He proceeded to
share
the library's history, mentioning how it once
served
as a
service
center for maritime research, which explained the
ship
in a bottle. He also joked about the legend of a ghostly
sheep
that haunted the library, a story that made Ella and Lucy giggle.
As they left, Mr. Smith handed Ella a book. "For your next adventure," he said. The book's title was "The
Sentence
of the Sea," a story about pirates and their hidden treasures.
Ella and Lucy looked at each other in amazement. They had stumbled upon a great
secret
, one that would forever change their understanding of their town's history. And all because Ella had decided to follow a mysterious light that few had ever
seen
.
