THE SECRET GARDEN
Nobody seemed to care about Mary. She
was born in India. Her father was a British official. He was very busy with his
work and her mother spent all her time going to parties. So Kamala was paid to
take care of little Miss Mary. Her mother was very beautiful and pretty. But
Mary wasn’t pretty girl, she was disagreeable, bad-tempered in addition she
never thought of other people , only wants her, nobody likes her. She had a thin
angry face and thin yellow hair.
One day her parents have died so Mary was sent back to England to live with her
uncle. After the long sea journey, she was met in London by Mr. Craven’s
housekeeper, Mrs. Medlock. Together Mary and Mrs. Medlock travelled north by
train. Mrs. Medlock was a large woman. Mary didn’t like her. But that wasn’t
surprising because she didn’t usually like people.
Then Mary and Mrs. Medlock arrived at a very big old house. It looked dark and
fearful. The house was hundred rooms but most of them were locked. She couldn’t
see trees or houses. Then Mrs. Medlock showed Mary’s room and she wen to bed.
When Mary woke up, she saw a young servant girl. She was cleaning the fireplace.
The room seemed dark with picture of dogs, horses and ladies on the wall.
Mary asked a young servant who she was. A young servant answered with smile
Martha, Miss.
Then Mary continued talking with Martha a long time. after that When Mary had
breakfast, they continued talking.
Martha said to put a coat on and run outside to play.
Mary asked ‘But who will go with her.’
Martha stared at her ‘Nobody. You’ll have to learn play by yourself. Dickon (Martha’
brother) plays by himself, with birds, sheep, others animals. Perhaps I
shouldn’t tell you this, but one of the walled gardens is locked up, Nobody’s
been is it for ten years. It was Mrs. Craven’s garden, and when her wife died so
suddenly he locked it and buried the key’ then Martha had to go back it.
Then Mary went to in the garden. She saw old man what was digging in one of the
vegetable gardens but he looked unfriendly, she walked on.
Just then she noticed a robin singing to her from a tree on the other side of a
wall. The robin was living in the secret garden, she thought.
She went back to where the gardener was digging and spoke to him.
His name was Ben Weatherstaff. They were alike, he and he. They weren’t pretty
to look at and they were both very disagreeable.
The next day it was very rainy so Mary didn’t go out instead of she decided to
wander round the house. When she was looking into some of the hundred rooms, she
heard someone crying. Just then Mrs. Medlock appeared with her keys in her hand.
Mrs. Medlock asked Mary What was she doing here. Mary answered ‘I didn’t know
which way to go and I heard someone crying.’ Mrs. Medlock said ‘I didn’t hear
anything, you must go to your room and bed. Then Mary went to bed.
When Mary woke up two days later, the wind and rain had all disappeared and the
sky was a beautiful blue. Then Mary and Martha were talking in the morning. But
Martha had to went to home because she ought to helped her mother with the
housework. Mary felt lonelier then ever when Martha had gone, so she went
outside. Then she saw Ben . he asked her if she could smell spring in the air.
She answered ‘I will’. Then the little bird hopped on to Ben’s spade.
Ten years was a long time, Mary thought. She had been born ten years ago. She
walked away. She had begun to like the gardens and the robin, Martha, Dickon and
their mother. Before she came to Yorkshire she had not liked anybody.
She was walking beside the long wall of the secret garden. When a most wonderful
thing happened. She felt very happy and pleased. As he hopped a long beside her.
She hopped and song too, to show him that she was his friend. Just then he
stopped at a place where a dog dug a hole in the ground. As Mary looked at the
hole, she noticed something almost buried there. She put her hand in and pulled
it out. It was an old key.
She thought it’s a secret garden’s key and it that’s right. She felt very happy
and put the key safely in her pocket.
Then she went to Martha. Martha had bought present form Mary. She was very happy.
Then she thanked her She never thanked people usually and she didn’t know how to
do it.
The present was skipping-rope. Mary skipped, skipped and counted in the garden.
Then was Ben. Mary skipped all the way to the secret garden wall. There was the
robin. He had followed Mary. She was very happy.
After that she went to the secret garden door’s. Then she took the key out of
her pocket and opened the door. She got excited. She walked quickly in and shut
the door behind her. At last she was inside the secret garden.
It was most exciting place she had ever seen. There were old rose trees
everywhere and It was wonderful garden in a world of her own. She worked away,
cleaning the ground two or three hours. Then she arrived back in her room.
Mary asked Martha ‘ will you write and ask Dickon to buy them for me?’
Martha’ I will. He will bring them to you himself.’
Then Mary looked very excited. Just then she heard someone crying. Mary asked it
from Martha. She said ‘ I didn’t hear it, I think it’s wind.’ But Mary didn’t
think it was wind. Then she wen to bed.
Mary spent nearly a week working in the secret garden. Each day she found new
shoots coming out of the ground. There would be flowers everywhere thousands of
them.
During that week she became more friendly with Ben. She skipped along and into
the wood at the end of the gardens. She heard a strange noise and there in front
of her was a boy. Then she went to here and she listened a boy. A boy was Dickon.
She never saw him and met with Dickon. Then Mary and Dickon was good friend. He
likes animals and plays them.
Mart showed the secret garden with him. And they went to there. They played,
talked,... in the secret garden.
Then Mary arrived back home. Her uncle called Mary she went to him. He had thin,
black hair with some white in it and crooked shoulders. He was a goo man but he
looks unhappy. Because his wife had died. Then Mary and he talked a long time.
...She was planning to work in the secret garden with Dickon everyday to make of
it beautiful for the summer.
In the middle of the night Mary woke up. Heavy rain had started falling again.
She heard crying again. Then she decided to discover who is was. She left room,
found the right room and opened the door. It was a big room and a boy. A boy
said ‘Who are you?’. Mary was confused. Then she started to talking with him.
The boy was Mary’s cousin. He was Mrs. Craven’s son. He name was Colin. He was
very ill. He said ‘I’m going to die’. He was very angry. And his father didn’t
want to see him. Then she talked with Colin a long time.
Mary visited to Colin everyday instead of visiting the garden because it rained
all the next week. But she woke early one morning to see the sun shining into
her room and she ran out to the secret garden at Dickon and Mary saw the robin’s
nest. They watched the robin for a moment. Then Mary talked about Colin with
Dickon. She explain Colin, they decided they would bring to Colin.
Mary didn’t have time to visit Colin that day because she was busy and had a lot
of gardening to do. Then Mary visited to Colin. But he was very angry because
she didn’t visited to him. And he saw her. He started argue with Mary. Then Mary
got angry to him and she arrived back her room. Then he was ill. And he want to
Mary. Martha went to her room and she called Mary. Then Mary went to the Colin’
room. She cured to Colin.
The next day Mary and Dickon took away Colin in the secret garden. Colin was
very happy and liked the secret garden. Colin, Dickon and Mary talked, played in
the secret garden. Then Ben saw them. And Colin2s thin feet were on the grass
and he was standing, holding Dickon’s arm. He looked strangely tall and held his
head very high. Tears were running down Ben’s brown face. That was the first of
many beautiful afternoon in the secret garden.
While the secret garden was returning to life, Colin’s father with high, crooked
shoulders was wandering round the most beautiful places Europe.
That night he slept better than usual. He even began to think a little about his
home and his son. He fell asleep and had a dream that seemed very real. He heard
a voice calling him. It was sweet and happy, the voice of his young wife.
And then the dream ended. In the morning when he woke, he remembered the dream.
And he received a letter from Susan Sowerby. Mrs. Craven thought of his dream
and decided to return to England.
When he arrived home. He went to the secret garden and saw his son, Dickon and
Mary Colin ran out, a tall, healthy, handsome boy, straight into the his
father’s arms.
Mrs. Medlock, Martha and the others servants had the greatest shock of their
lives...
