Reading Passage: The Enchanted Forest
Deep within the heart of the ancient wood, where moonlight danced through the canopy and shadows whispered secrets, stood the legendary Tree of Eternity. Legend spoke of its roots embracing the earth’s core, its branches reaching beyond the stars. Sir Eldric, a brave knight, ventured into this mystical forest seeking the lost artefact of his ancestors. The air was thick with mystery and the scent of dew-laden moss. As he moved silently beneath the towering trees, he felt an ancient presence awakening—a guardian, draped in luminescent robes, appeared before him. With a voice that echoed like distant thunder, it challenged Sir Eldric to prove his worth. The knight’s courage was tested as illusions of his deepest fears materialised around him, yet he remained resolute. In this moment, he realised that the true power of the forest lay not in its mystical artefacts but in the courage and integrity of those who sought its secrets.
