Grisel's Book

The book is filled with secrets, and Grisel must solve its riddles to uncover its truth. However, the path is not easy, as she faces challenges and doubts along the way. With determination and the help of a wise librarian, Grisel learns the value of honesty and perseverance in her quest for answers.
Grisel loved spending time in the library at the American Institute. One day, she found a dusty, old book hidden behind other books on a high shelf. The book was filled with strange symbols and curious riddles. Grisel was thrilled and wanted to solve the mystery. But as she read on, she found a note saying, "Only the honest heart will uncover my secret."
Excitedly, Grisel tried to solve the first riddle, but it was very tricky. She couldn't understand what it meant and felt stuck. As she puzzled over the book, her friend Alex came by. - What are you doing, Grisel? Alex asked. - I'm trying to solve this, but it's so hard! Grisel replied, feeling frustrated.
Determined to solve the mystery, Grisel tried to find clues in other books. She spent hours reading and thinking, but nothing seemed to help. She even stayed up late, hoping an idea would come to her. - Maybe it's impossible, Grisel sighed. Her eyes were tired, and her mind was full of jumbled thoughts.
Grisel felt like giving up and thought of putting the book back on the shelf. She worried she wasn't clever enough to solve it. - Maybe I should just stop, Grisel whispered to herself. Her heart felt heavy, and she wondered if the mystery would remain unsolved forever.
The next day, Grisel met Mrs. López, the librarian, who noticed her sad face. - What's wrong, Grisel? she asked gently. Grisel explained her troubles, and Mrs. López smiled. - Remember, honesty will light your path, she advised. With newfound hope, Grisel realized she needed to be truthful with herself about what she understood.
Inspired by Mrs. López's words, Grisel tackled the riddles again, this time focusing on what she truly knew. Slowly, the answers began to reveal themselves. With each solved riddle, Grisel felt more confident. Finally, the book's secret unfolded, and Grisel smiled with joy. She learned that honesty and persistence could solve any mystery.
