Passage

In a quaint village nestled between emerald hills, there existed a peculiar library. This library
was unlike any other, for its books seemed to hum with life. The moment you stepped inside,
a gentle breeze would rustle the pages, whispering stories that waited to be told. Dust motes
danced in the beams of sunlight filtering through the stained glass windows, casting colorful
patterns on the wooden floor.

Every Saturday, children from the village gathered at the library, their eyes wide with
wonder. They listened intently as Mrs. Green, the elderly librarian, shared tales of brave
knights and enchanted forests. Her voice wove magic into the air, and the children could
almost feel themselves stepping into those worlds.

One day, as the children sat cross-legged on the floor, Mrs. Green introduced a new book. Its
cover was worn and faded, adorned with intricate gold patterns that shimmered in the light.
“This,” she said, “is the book of forgotten dreams.” The children leaned closer, captivated by
the title.

As Mrs. Green read aloud, the words painted vivid images in their minds. They traveled
through time, encountering dragons and fairies, each page turning like a new adventure
unfolding. Laughter erupted when a mischievous pixie played tricks on a clumsy knight, and
gasps followed when danger lurked around every corner.

Suddenly, a loud thud interrupted their journey. The library door swung open, and a gust of
wind rushed in, scattering papers like leaves in autumn. The children looked at each other,
startled. In that moment, a strange figure appeared—a tall boy with wild hair and bright,
curious eyes. He looked as if he belonged to another world, one filled with mysteries waiting
to be uncovered.

“What’s happening?” he exclaimed, breathless. “Did I miss the adventure?” The children
smiled, realizing that every Saturday at the library was an adventure of its own, and today
was no exception. With the boy joining them, the stories would become even more exciting.
Together, they would create a new chapter, one that would forever be etched in their
memories.
