The Mysterious Letter

When Olivia comes home from school, she finds an old envelope on the table. It has no name, no address—just a small red heart drawn on it. “Who left this here?” she wonders.

She opens the envelope and takes out a piece of paper. The message says, “Look under the big tree.” Olivia's heart beats fast. Is it a secret message? A treasure hunt? She grabs her jacket and runs outside.

In her backyard, there is a big oak tree. She looks under it and sees a small wooden box. With excitement, she opens it. Inside, she finds a beautiful silver necklace with a tiny key.

Just then, her grandmother walks outside and smiles. “Ah, you found it! That was my special necklace when I was your age. Now, it’s yours.”

Olivia hugs her grandmother. It wasn’t a treasure hunt—it was a special gift!
