The sun rose higher as Oliver and Emily trekked deeper into the moors. The landscape seemed to stretch endlessly, with tufts of golden grass swaying in the breeze. The only sound was the occasional call of a bird overhead. Oliver checked the map often, but the directions were vague, and the landmarks described seemed to have changed over time.
By noon, they were hopelessly lost. Emily sat down on a large rock and sighed. “Maybe the circle doesn’t exist,” she said. “Or maybe it’s meant to stay hidden.”
Just as Oliver was about to agree, a faint sound caught their attention—a low hum, almost like a song carried by the wind. They stood up, following the sound, which seemed to grow louder with each step. After walking for what felt like hours, they stumbled upon a clearing surrounded by ancient oak trees. In the center stood the stone circle, weathered by time but still majestic.
Emily gasped. “We found it,” she whispered.

中文译文：
随着太阳逐渐升高，奥利弗和艾米丽越走越深入荒野。景色仿佛没有尽头，金色的草丛在微风中摇曳，头顶偶尔传来鸟儿的鸣叫声。奥利弗频繁查看地图，但指引非常模糊，描述的地标似乎随着时间的流逝而改变了模样。
到中午时，他们迷路了。艾米丽坐在一块大石头上叹气。“也许那个石圈根本不存在，”她说道，“或者它本来就应该隐藏起来。”
就在奥利弗快要认同时，一阵低沉的声音引起了他们的注意——像是被风带来的歌声。他们站起身，跟随声音的方向走去。声音越来越清晰，仿佛引导着他们。走了好久后，他们终于来到了一片被古老橡树环绕的空地，空地中心矗立着那片石圈。石头已被岁月侵蚀，但依然雄伟壮丽。
艾米丽倒吸一口气。“我们找到了，”她低声说道。
