With a thin angry face and thin yellow hair, Mary was not a pretty child.Her parents were busy with social doings and didn’t care about her much so she was only taken care of by servants.Being short of solicitude from parents and living in the limited room, she became a selfish, disagreeable, bad-tempered girl.Nobody would like such a girl, but she didn’t care at all.
It seemed that she would always be a nuisance and nobody could change her.
Someday a pestilence broke out, which made Mary a poor orphan.Then she was sent to England to live with her uncle, Mr.Craven.When she was there, she was still angry about everything, only good at giving orders to others.One day, with a robin leading the way, she found a secret garden, which was locked for ten years.
By accident, she found the key to the door, and when she entered the grand garden, she saw the magic of the nature!
The sun shone, the birds sang, the sky was clearly blue, and the walls were covered with climbing roses……Her cold, stiff mind was moved by the amplitude, catholicity, magnanimousne of the works of God ! She fell in love with the secret garden!
She had her own scope of activity, and her life became full of energy!
Then she met Dickon, a lovely little boy who was close to nature, loved little animals and flowers.They were the devotees of the nature, and the beautiful garden made them became good friends quickly.Mary changed a lot, becoming a kind, gentle, and easy-going girl.
The greatest miracle the nature gave to the lovely children happened on Colin.He was Mr.Craven’s son, whose character was the same as the former Mary, always disagreeable with all the people around him.
Ten years ago, his mother died in the very garden, Mr.Craven was very sad, and didn’t want to see Colin because he resembles his mother very much.Colin was lonely and so ill that he thought he was to be crooked and die.
Fortunately, the three children encountered.The beautiful scenery in the garden also shocked Colin.Breathing the fresh air, he became strong and healthy.
He believed that there was magic helping him stand up to walk as the normal people.And in fact, he was right.Nature is the Greatest Magician! She made Colin cry out,“I’m going to live for ever and ever and ever!”
For 10 years Mr.Craven had lived his lonely life, his heart was full of sadne.He buried the key to the secret garden in order to bury his sadne, but he was still unhappy.Who was able to help him?
The secret garden! When he saw his lively son in the garden, his depreed heart became full of warm sunshine again! As the garden relived, it brought a lot of happine and miracles to them.It was the present of the nature!
Nature turns illne to health, turns sadne to delight, turns loneline to happine.
Now, they were like three eidolons of the nature, healthy, free, and happy!
