The story "The Gold Harp" begins in 1551 with a man named Saldan Heiy and his dog Max entering a forest with a pure gold harp. Saldan never returns, and rumors suggest he left the harp by a riverbank, with his ghost haunting the area, playing a sad tune. In 1750, 17-year-old Osrac Heiy visits a museum where he learns about the harp and the ghost. Ignoring warnings from an old man about the dangers of searching for the harp, Osrac decides to find it and prove that ghosts don’t exist. He packs supplies and travels to the forest with his dog, Rover. As night falls, Osrac struggles through the dark woods, contemplating the old man’s warning and feeling a mix of fear and excitement. He eventually falls asleep but is awakened by Rover. The next morning, Osrac finds himself in thick fog and prepares to sketch the scene when Rover discovers something and returns with a filthy, worn-out cap. Osrac is intrigued and feels a rush of excitement about his adventure. The story suggests themes of bravery, curiosity, and the allure of the unknown.
