In a small town in Russia, there was an old and mysterious gallery. This gallery seemed not much different from ordinary ones, but it concealed a magical secret. There was a little girl named Lena in the town. She liked painting very much and was full of curiosity about this gallery. One day, she finally got the chance to enter this gallery.
Lena walked into the gallery. The light inside was a bit dim, but the paintings on the wall seemed to emit a unique glow. She walked slowly in the gallery, admiring those paintings one by one. When she came to a painting depicting an ancient castle, she suddenly felt that there was something special about this painting. The castle in the painting looked solemn and mysterious, and the flags on the city wall seemed to flutter gently in the breeze. Lena was so absorbed in it that she unconsciously got closer to this painting.
Suddenly, a knight in the painting moved a little. Lena was startled, but her curiosity quickly overcame her fear. The knight slowly walked out of the painting. He was wearing shiny armor and holding a sword, looking very majestic. The knight looked at Lena and said to her in an ancient and mysterious voice, "Welcome to the Magic Gallery, little girl." Lena was so astonished that she couldn't say a word. She could hardly believe her eyes.
The knight extended his hand to Lena, signaling her to follow him into the painting. Lena hesitated for a moment, and then summoned up her courage and held the knight's hand. When her foot crossed the frame of the painting, she felt as if she had entered a completely new world. The castle in the painting became even taller and more magnificent, and there were also beautiful gardens around it, with all kinds of strange and beautiful flowers in full bloom. The sky was blue, with white clouds floating in it.
In this world in the painting, Lena and the knight encountered many wonderful creatures. There were winged fairies flying among the flowers, and talking little animals scurrying in the woods. Lena was extremely happy. She played with these creatures and listened to them tell stories about this magical world. The knight took Lena to visit the interior of the castle. There was a magnificent hall inside, and more magical paintings were hung on the walls. Each painting seemed to conceal a different world.
However, time passed quickly. Lena knew it was time for her to go home. She and the knight walked towards the exit of the painting together, her heart full of reluctance. This world in the painting had brought her so many surprises and joys. She didn't know if she could come here again in the future. The knight seemed to read her mind and said to her, "As long as your heart is full of imagination and curiosity, you can return to this world at any time."
Lena took one last look at this magical world, and then stepped across the frame of the painting and returned to the gallery. The gallery was still the same, but she knew that she had experienced an extremely wonderful adventure. Since then, Lena often came to this gallery, looking at those paintings, recalling her experiences in the paintings, her heart full of warmth and hope.
