In the heart of a sprawling city, there lived a wise old owl named Orion. Orion was no ordinary owl; he was well-versed in the tales of yore and often shared them with young animals who were eager to learn.
在一个广大的城市的中心,住着一只名叫Orion的聪明的老猫头鹰。Orion不是普通的猫头鹰;他非常了解古老的故事,并经常与渴望学习的年轻动物分享。
One day, a curious squirrel named Sera approached him. “Orion, I’ve heard about the legend of the Golden Acorn. Can you tell me about it?” she asked with sparkling eyes.
有一天,一个叫Sera的好奇的松鼠靠近了他。 “Orion, 我听说过金橡果的传说。你能告诉我吗?”她眼睛闪闪发光地问。
Orion smiled warmly, “Ah, the Golden Acorn! A symbol of prosperity and wisdom, it was said to grant wishes to anyone who possessed it. But remember, Sera, not all that glitters is gold.”
Orion温暖地笑了,“啊,金橡果!它是繁荣和智慧的象征,据说拥有它的人可以实现任何愿望。但是记住,Sera,并非所有闪光的都是金子。”
Sera nodded thoughtfully, realizing the deeper message behind the legend. From that day on, she sought wisdom, not just treasures.
Sera深思地点了点头,意识到了传说背后的更深层次的信息。从那天起,她追求的是智慧,而不仅仅是财宝。
