In the corner of her grandmother's attic, Lucy found an old, ornate clock that had been silent for decades.

Curious, Lucy tried to wind it, but it remained still.

Inside, Lucy discovered a collection of old letters and a faded map.

There, Lucy unearthed a time capsule filled with mementos from her ancestors.  
在那里，露西挖出了一只时间胶囊，里面装满了她祖先的纪念品。  
The clock had not only marked time but had also preserved a piece of her family’s history, reconnecting her with her roots.
