Origin Story
老槐树下，一群孩子正在聚精会神地听老爷爷讲故事。孩子们被老爷爷精彩的讲述深深吸引，周围的一切仿佛都消失了，连平日里最吵闹的麻雀和乌鸦也停止了鸣叫，整个村庄都沉浸在一片鸦雀无声的氛围中。老爷爷讲的故事是关于一位勇敢的骑士，他克服了重重困难，最终拯救了美丽的公主。孩子们听得入迷，时而发出惊叹，时而屏住呼吸，生怕错过任何一个细节。故事结束后，孩子们久久不能平静，老爷爷的讲述不仅让他们感受到了故事的魅力，更让他们体会到了勇敢、善良和坚持的重要性。
Under the old oak tree, a group of children were listening intently to the old man's story. They were so captivated by the old man's wonderful storytelling that everything around them seemed to disappear; even the usually noisy sparrows and crows stopped chirping. The whole village was immersed in a silent atmosphere. The old man's story was about a brave knight who overcame many difficulties and finally rescued the beautiful princess. The children listened with fascination, sometimes exclaiming in amazement, sometimes holding their breath, afraid to miss any details. After the story, the children could not calm down for a long time. The old man's storytelling not only allowed them to experience the charm of the story, but also made them understand the importance of bravery, kindness, and persistence.
