Read This Before You Begin

The Unexpected Discovery While cleaning the attic of her grandmother’s house, Ava discovered an old wooden box hidden beneath several dusty blankets. Inside the box were letters written many years ago by Ava’s great-grandfather. The letters described his travels across Canada when he was a young man. Ava carefully read through the pages. Some letters described long train journeys through snowy mountains, while others told stories of meeting new people in distant towns. Ava realised that the letters were more than just old papers. They were pieces of her family’s history. She decided to place the letters back in the box safely so they could be shared with future generations.
