Danny was an 11-year-old boy who loved solving puzzles and exploring. One afternoon, while walking home from school, he noticed a folded paper tied with a red string lying on the sidewalk. Curious, he picked it up and found an old map with a note:
"If you’re brave, your journey begins at the big oak tree."

Excited, Danny followed the map to the oak tree in the park. Beneath its roots, he found a small box. Inside was a strange key and another note:
"This key opens a door to something extraordinary. Look for the door at the old bridge."

Without hesitation, Danny grabbed his bike and raced to the old bridge. There, hidden behind a pile of rocks, was a rusty door. Using the key, he unlocked it and stepped into a glowing underground tunnel.

The walls were lined with riddles and glowing symbols. Danny solved each one, feeling like a real adventurer. Finally, he reached a large room with a chest in the center, faintly glowing.

As he approached the chest, a voice from behind startled him. Turning, he saw an old man with a mischievous grin.
– "You’ve done well to get this far, Danny," the man said. "But the real test is about to begin."

Danny’s heart raced. What was in the chest? And what did the old man mean by a "real test"?
