Lila 's eyes widened in surprise. She had never seen anything like it before. "A door in a tree? How curious!" she exclaimed. Her fingers tingled with excitement as she reached for the handle. Suddenly, the door creaked open, revealing a warm, glowing light from within. Mr. Whiskers was a wise old squirrel, known for his tales of wonder and wisdom.

Introduction: Rohan, a curious and adventurous boy, loved listening to stories from an old storyteller in the village. One day, the storyteller gave him a challenge—he would tell Rohan a tale, and at the end, he must answer a question. If he answered correctly, the storyteller would tell him another story. If he didn't, he would have to think harder next time! The Story: In a small town, two brothers, Karan and Rahul, lived with their loving parents. Karan was responsible and hardworking, always helping his parents with chores and studying well. Rahul, on the other hand, loved playing all day and never cared about his studies or work. One day, their father gave them each a small piece of land to take care of. Karan worked hard, watering the plants, removing weeds, and taking care of his land. Rahul, however, was lazy and ignored his land, spending all his time playing games. After a few months, Karan's land was full of fresh vegetables and beautiful flowers, while Rahul’s land was dry and empty. Seeing this, Rahul felt sad and asked Karan for help. Instead of scolding him, Karan kindly taught him how to take care of the land. Rahul learned his lesson and promised to be more responsible. One day, a wise old man in the village asked, "Who is the wiser brother—the one who always worked hard or the one who made mistakes but learned from them?" The Question: The storyteller asked Rohan, "Who do you think was wiser—Karan, who always did the right thing, or Rahul, who learned from his mistakes?" Rohan’s Answer: Rohan thought for a moment and said, "Karan is wiser because he always worked hard. It’s good to learn from mistakes, but being responsible from the start is even better." The storyteller smiled and said, "That is a great answer! Now, let me tell you another story..." Moral of the Story: Working hard and being responsible from the beginning leads to success, but learning from mistakes also helps us grow.

I was born in this historically and culturally rich hometown of Lung Yeuk Tau, but I grew up abroad. Every time I return here, it feels like stepping into a world where time has reversed. Every brick and tile here tells a story of the past. The old walled village, situated on the mountainside, stands with its majestic blue brick walls, seemingly narrating tales of repelling pirates. The steps in front of the village gate are cleverly designed as a defensive position, making it difficult for enemies to attack. The small holes and high platforms on the walls were used to monitor outside movements, ensuring the villagers' safety. Such intelligent architectural designs leave me in awe of my ancestors' wisdom. Passing through the ancient gate, I see orderly houses with winding paths paved with blue stones. Not far away, the grand ancestral hall—Song Ling Tang Gong Hall—showcases our family's long history. The exquisite wood carvings and murals inside the hall reflect our family’s glory and traditions. Beside the ancestral hall stands the Tin Hau Temple, with its red walls and yellow tiles radiating a sacred atmosphere. The ancient bronze bell inside tells of countless pious wishes, as if feeling the divine protection. The surrounding statues of the Earth God and the Goddess of Heaven further immerse me in the rich local beliefs. When I step into other walled villages like Dong Ge and Wing Ning, I can still sense the vigor of their long history. Although many walls are now damaged, I can still imagine the tense scenes of repelling pirates. The altars and other structures make me feel the sincere hopes of my ancestors for wealth and success. As I stroll through this culturally rich land, I can almost feel the footsteps of my ancestors and the vitality of this home. No matter where I go, my roots will always be here—in Lung Yeuk Tau.
