Lily spent the next week searching for more stones, piecing together the fragments of Eleanor’s hidden poem. She found a few more, each with a line or two. Together, they started to form a story about nature, kindness, and the beauty of small acts of goodwill. The villagers took notice of Lily’s quest, and some even joined her, sharing stories about their ancestors who had once found Eleanor’s stones.

With each new discovery, Lily felt a deeper connection to Willowbrook and its history. She understood now that Eleanor’s stones were more than just a treasure hunt; they were a reminder of the simple beauty in leaving something meaningful for others to find. Finally, with Mrs. Hodge’s help, Lily arranged all the stones she’d found into a complete poem. It read: “To those who seek, I leave a piece, a memory of kindness, may joy increase.”

As the villagers gathered to hear the poem, they applauded Lily’s dedication. Eleanor Mayfield’s story had come alive once more, her message of kindness spanning generations, and Lily felt at home in Willowbrook for the first time. The legend of Eleanor’s stones had given her a gift—one of connection, purpose, and belonging.

中文译文:

接下来的一周里,莉莉继续寻找更多的石头,将埃莉诺隐藏诗的碎片拼凑起来。她又找到了几块石头,每块上面都有一两句诗句。它们共同形成了一个关于自然、善意和小小善举之美的故事。村民们开始注意到莉莉的追求,一些人甚至加入她的行列,与她分享祖辈们曾找到埃莉诺石头的故事。

随着每一次新的发现,莉莉感到自己与威洛布鲁克及其历史有了更深的联系。她现在明白,埃莉诺的石头不仅仅是一次寻宝之旅,它们是提醒人们在为他人留下有意义的东西时所带来的简单美。最后,在霍奇夫人的帮助下,莉莉将她找到的所有石头拼成了一首完整的诗。诗句写道:“献给那些寻求的人,我留下了一块,善意的回忆,愿快乐增添。”

当村民们聚集起来听这首诗时,他们为莉莉的奉献精神鼓掌。埃莉诺·梅菲尔德的故事再次复活,她的善意信息跨越了几代人,而莉莉终于在威洛布鲁克找到了归属。埃莉诺的石头传奇给了她一份礼物——一种联系、目标和归属感。
