Hope is the key.
On a stormy day in a busy city, a girl rushing to the library saw a key. She stopped, stared at it, picked it up, and rushed forward until she reached the library. Once she got inside, she took a book and sat on a cozy armchair. Twenty minutes later, she read these words in the book: “If you want to find the treasure, find the key and open the door. Time is a thief.”
She thought about the message for over an hour. Then she decided to find the door and unlock it. She was walking on a big street when a person wearing a black costume and a green mask pushed her into a small alley. She looked in front of her and saw a small door. She thought it must be the door she was looking for.
She was right. The door opened, and inside there was a small library. It was cozy and full of unique books. Every day she came to the library and borrowed a book.
After two years, the library disappeared. In front of the place where the library had once stood, she found a message that said: “The world is a stage.”
Then she realised that a key carries hope. A key is unique. It gives hope when you feel trapped and have no one to help you. A key can be the answer to a problem when you are desperate for help. It is like a lucky charm that guides you.
Keys can take many different shapes, just as hope does. And curiosity is the key to many interesting ideas.
