In a magical kingdom, there lived a calm wolf named Fen. He had soft grey fur and kind yellow eyes. Every morning, he walked to the Whispering River to drink. The water sang a quiet song. Fen loved to listen.
One day, Fen found a small blue stone near the river. It was the Moonstone, the kingdom's most precious treasure. But then a strong wind blew, and the stone rolled away. Fen looked under a bush, but it was not there. He looked behind a rock, but it was not there. He felt worried.

A2 · Past Simple, Future with 'will', prepositions of place
We use the past simple to talk about actions that happened and finished in the past. Regular verbs add -ed, and some verbs are irregular (e.g., find → found, blow → blew).
We use 'will' to talk about the future, make decisions, or promises. It shows what someone plans or expects to do.
Prepositions of place show where something is. Common ones are 'under', 'behind', 'near', 'on', and 'in'.
