Reading Passage
Lena had always been curious about the old woods behind her grandmother’s house. As a child, she would sit on the porch swing and listen to her grandmother’s stories about the mysterious forest. According to her grandmother, the woods held secrets that had been hidden for generations. Lena’s favorite story was about the tiny, glowing creatures called “Luminars” that supposedly danced among the trees at night. Though she had never seen one herself, Lena believed in magic, and the woods seemed to whisper promises of adventure.
One summer afternoon, with her backpack packed with a notebook, a flashlight, and a sandwich, Lena decided to explore the woods herself. She tiptoed past the ancient oak trees, their branches stretching high into the sky, and ventured deeper than she ever had before. The sunlight filtered through the leaves, creating a mosaic of light and shadow on the forest floor. Every step she took was accompanied by the crunching sound of fallen leaves and twigs.
Lena’s heart pounded with excitement as she wandered further. She noticed unusual patterns on some rocks—strange symbols that looked like they had been carved long ago. Curious, she took out her notebook and sketched them. As she moved deeper into the forest, she felt a gentle breeze that seemed to carry a faint glow. Suddenly, she paused. A soft, shimmering light flickered between the trees.
She followed the glow, her eyes wide with wonder. As she approached, she saw tiny, luminous figures darting among the bushes. They were no bigger than a firefly, with wings that sparkled like tiny stars. Lena gasped in amazement. These must be the Luminars her grandmother had talked about! Carefully, she sat down on a mossy patch of ground and watched them dance. Their movements were graceful, almost like a carefully choreographed ballet. They glided from flower to flower, illuminating the woods with their gentle glow.
Lena reached out her hand, hesitant but hopeful. To her surprise, one of the Luminars hovered close, landing softly on her finger. It was warm and light, like holding a tiny flickering flame. She whispered softly, feeling a strange sense of peace. In that moment, she realized that the stories her grandmother told her had been true all along. The magic of the woods was real, and it was alive in those glowing creatures.
After a while, the Luminars began to fade as the sky darkened. Lena knew it was time to head back home. She carefully watched as the tiny lights disappeared among the trees. With a heart full of wonder, she made her way out of the woods, eager to tell her grandmother about her incredible encounter. That night, Lena sat on the porch, her notebook filled with sketches and notes, and she believed more than ever in the magic that existed right behind her grandmother’s house. The woods had given her a memory she would cherish forever, a secret adventure that she would carry in her heart forever.
