The Lost Key

One rainy afternoon, Lily found an old, rusty key tied with a red ribbon in her grandmother’s attic. Attached was a tag that read, **"The secret lies within."** Her curiosity piqued, she searched the house, testing the key on every door and drawer, but nothing worked. Frustrated, she nearly gave up.

Then, one day, her dog, Max, led her to an old stone fountain in the garden. Digging furiously, Max uncovered a small, buried box. Lily’s heart raced as she inserted the key, and with a soft *click*, the box opened. Inside was a letter from her late grandmother, explaining that the key was a reminder that the greatest treasure lies within her imagination.

Smiling, Lily realized the adventure she had been chasing was already inside her all along.
