Read the following excerpt from a short story:
In the tranquil village of Eldenwood, the townsfolk gathered each autumn for the Harvest Festival, a time of celebration, community, and reflection. Elders recounted tales of resilience and hope, while children played games and collected the bounty of the season. Yet, amidst the laughter and joy, a shadow loomed over the festivities—the whisper of an unfulfilled promise to bring back the town’s lost history. Many questioned whether they would ever truly be free to celebrate fully when parts of their past remained shrouded in mystery.
