Mary was a lonely girl with sad, gray eyes. She moved to a big, old house in the countryside. The air was still, and flowers were out of sight. One day, she heard a whisper in the wind, drawing her towards a hidden path in the trees.
As Mary walked down the path, she saw a rusty gate. It looked very old and covered in vines. With a gentle push, the gate creaked open. She stepped into the secret garden, her heart racing with delight and surprise!
The garden was wild and overgrown. Bright flowers peeked through tangled weeds and grasses. Mary could almost hear the plants calling for help. She knew she had to bring the garden back to life, to make it bloom bright and gay.
Every day after that, Mary worked in the garden. She pulled out weeds and watered the flowers. Slowly, the garden began to change, transforming into a magical place. Soon, she began humming happy tunes as she dug in the earth.
One sunny afternoon, her new friend Dickon came by. He had kind, shining eyes and a gentle smile. He loved animals and knew all about plants. Together they laughed and sang, making the garden their special place.
Mary felt the joy spread within her heart. The garden was working its magic; it made her feel alive. With Dickon’s help, the flowers danced and swayed, and together they created a beautiful display.
As days turned into weeks, Mary began to change too. Her laughter rang like bells, brightening the gloomy days. She no longer felt lonely because she had found friendship and joy in the garden.
Then came Colin, a boy hidden away in the house, who also felt alone. With Mary and Dickon’s encouragement, he joined them in the garden. Together they discovered the wonders of nature and friendship, transforming their hearts.
The garden flourished like a sea of colors, with roses, tulips, and daisies galore. Each flower they planted grew strong and tall, brightening lives, bringing happiness to all.
Finally, Mary realized the secret of the garden: it healed hearts and mended souls. The magic of nature could make anyone feel whole, bringing love, joy, and beauty, forever to behold.
