Once, there was a girl named Mary Lennox. She lived in India but moved to England when her parents died. She went to live with her uncle, Mr. Craven, in a big, lonely house. Mary was a sad and angry girl.
One day, Mary found a key to a secret garden. The garden was locked and forgotten. Mary was curious and wanted to see inside. She found the door and used the key to open it. Inside, she found a beautiful but overgrown garden.
Mary decided to take care of the garden. She met a boy named Dickon who was good with plants and animals. They worked together to make the garden beautiful again.
Mary also discovered that her cousin, Colin, lived in the house. Colin was sick and couldn’t walk. He was always in bed and very unhappy. Mary told Colin about the garden and brought him outside to see it. Being in the garden made Colin feel better. He started to walk and play.
Mr. Craven, Mary’s uncle, was away traveling. When he came back, he saw how happy Mary and Colin were. The garden had changed their lives. Mr. Craven was very happy to see them healthy and joyful.
The secret garden became a special place for everyone. It was a place where they all found happiness and health.
