题目内容
One morning, as Mary was skipping(蹦跳)slowly along the long path, she heard the sound of music. She was very curious and went to find out.
A boy was sitting under a tree. He was playing music. He had blue eyes and red cheeks(脸颊). A squirrel and two rabbits were watching him and listening to the music. When he saw Mary, he said, “I’m Dickon. I know who you are. You are Miss Mary.”
He took out a package.
“Here are the garden tools. I bought some packets of seeds, too.”
“If you like,” Dickon said, “I can plant them for you. Where’s your garden?”
“Can you keep a secret?” she said.
“I keep secrets all the time,” Dickon laughed.
“I stole a garden,” Mary said quickly. “Nobody wants it. Perhaps everything is dead in it already. I don’t know.”
She began to cry.
“Where is it?” asked Dickon.
“Come with me.” she said.
She took him along the path to the wall with the ivy (常春藤)on it. Then she unlocked the door and they went in together.
“Here it is,” she said. “It’s a secret garden.”
Dickon’s blue eyes opened wide in surprise as he looked at the garden.
“It's very pretty,” he whispered. “It’s like being in a dream. In the spring there are going to be lots of birds’ nests(鸟巢)here.”
“Are the roses alive or dead? " Mary asked him.
He went up to an old tree and pointed at the branch(树枝). It was dry and grey but there was a small green bit growing on it.
“This bit’s alive,” he explained. “But there’s a lot of old wood that is dead. We must cut it off. There are going to be lots of roses here this summer.”
They went from bush to bush and from tree to tree. He was very strong and clever with his knife. He knew how to cut off the dry and dead wood.
“There's a lot of work to do here,” he said.
“Can you come again and help me?” Mary asked him. “Please, Dickon!”
“Yes, every day if you like,” he answered.
“Please, please don’t tell anyone about the secret garden, Dickon,” she said.
“Of course not,” answered Dickon. “It's our secret.”
