THE WHISPERING WOOD (READ THE PASSAGE AND ANSWER THE QUESTIONS ON THE NEXT SLIDE)
Beneath the bony branches of the Whispering Wood, where moonlight dripped through like
ghostly tears, Tom crouched, the damp earth beneath his knees cold and clammy. He
traced the cool metal of his dad's sword, its once-shiny surface marred by soot and dried-up
blood. The wind, heavy with the scent of pine and untold secrets, carried the distant wail of
a banshee, a mournful echo of the kingdom's fading hope. Tom, the last one left in his royal
family, knew his path wouldn't be paved with moonlight and fairy tale wishes. It would be
carved with steel, bravery, and the desperate hope of a dying land.
As dawn bled onto the horizon, casting an eerie orange glow on the gnarled trees, Tom rose,
his eyes hard with determination. The bad guy, the one who stole his throne, now sat on the
fancy chair where his family had sat for ages. He used the kingdom's magic like a mean
weapon, scaring everyone into doing what he wanted. But Tom wouldn't be scared! He had
the fighting spirit of his ancestors pumping through him, and a whisper in his ear telling him to
fight back.
He wouldn't be just another forgotten prince, a dusty memory from a happier time. He would
be a hurricane, a storm that would take down the bad guy and bring back the hope he
stole. Gripping the sword, its weight reminding him of what he had to do, Tom turned his
back on the whispering secrets of the woods. The path ahead was foggy and scary, but he
couldn't let fear win. He was Tom, the last heir, and his adventure was just beginning!
