At her nest, Penny pressed the key into a hidden lock on an old chest.

3. The First Puzzle
3. 第一个谜题
Near the river, Penny found a stone table with three colored stones: red, blue, and green.
河边，佩妮找到了一个石桌，桌上摆着三块彩石：红色、蓝色和绿色。
A note read, "Place the stones in the order of sunrise."
纸条写道："按日出顺序摆放这些石头。"
Penny remembered that the sun rises in a warm pink hue.
她想起太阳升起时温暖的粉色光芒。
She carefully arranged the stones in the order pink, blue, green.

Inside the hill’s cave, a gentle wind whispered: "I have no body but can be felt; I am made of many parts, yet I never move.
在山洞中，一阵柔和的风轻声说："我没有身体，却可以被感知；我由许多部分组成，却从不移动。
Who am I?"
我是谁？"
Penny thought hard.
佩妮思索良久。
She answered, "A breeze."
她回答："一阵微风。"
The wind sighed, then revealed a locked box with a windmill key.
风轻声呼出，然后露出一个风车钥匙的锁盒。
This key would come in handy later.
这个钥匙未来会用到。

At the top of the hill, Penny saw a giant sundial with a tiny door.
山顶上，佩妮看到一个巨大的沙漏时钟，旁边有一扇小门。
A puzzle panel asked, "What moves the sun across the sky?"
谜题板写道："是什么让太阳沿天空转动？"
She realized it was the Earth’s rotation.
她想到地球自转。
She turned the sundial’s dial to "12," and the door opened.
于是她把沙漏的刻度调到"12"，门开了一条通路。
Inside, she found a crystal box glowing softly.

She smiled, knowing she would share her adventures with anyone who was curious and brave.
她笑着知道，自己会和任何好奇又勇敢的人分享冒险。
