Secret Garden

Chapter 01 New life in england Mary Lennox was born in India. Her parents never had time for her. Mary had a nanny. She gave Mary whatever she wanted. So Mary became a very spoiled and selfish child. When Mary was only nine years old, her parents died from a disease. Mary was all alone. She was sent to live with her uncle, Mr. Craven. He lived in England, in a place called Misselthwaite Manor.

Mary met Mr. Craven's housekeeper, Mrs. Medlock. Mrs. Medlock described the manor. “ The house is on a moor, and it is big and gloomy. Mr. Craven is an unhappy man. He is hardly ever at home. ” “ What is a moor?” Mary asked. “ It is miles and miles of empty land, " Mrs. Medlock answered. When Mary went to sleep that night, she felt lonelier than ever.

In the morning, Mary met a maid named Martha. “ How about going outside to play?” said Martha. But Mary was not interested at all. “ There are many gardens, but one of them is locked by Mr. Craven, ” said Martha. Mary turned to her and asked “ Why is it locked?” “ It was his wife's garden and she loved it. When she died, he locked the door and buried the key No one has gone in there for ten years, ” said Martha. After that Mary could not stop thinking about the secret garden.

Mary went outside and met a gardener. He whistled and a robin redbreast came to him. The bird sang a beautiful song with chirps and whistles. “ He wants to be your friend" the gardener said. “ Really? I've never had a friend. Will you be my friend?” smiled Mary. The next day, it rained very hard. Mary decided to look around the house. The house was very big, and soon she got lost. Suddenly, Mary heard someone crying. She saw Mrs. Medlock coming toward her. “ I heard someone crying, said Mary No, you heard nothing! Go back to your room, said Mrs. Medlock.

One day Martha went to see her family Mary was lonely without her. Mary went outside and saw the gardener again. “ Spring's coming. Soon the flowers will bloom, " he said. Mary went for a walk near the garden's wall. The robin redbreast flew to her and chirped. “ Oh, it's you! You remember me, ” cried Mary. The robin looked for a worm in the soil. Mary looked down, too. And she saw something buried there. It was an old key! “ Maybe it's the key to the secret garden, she said to herself.
