There was magic in the secret garden that spring and summer.At first,everything turned green.Then the green changed to colours—blue,purple and red.There were flowers everywhere.
Dickon and Mary's seeds(種子) grew.And the roses—the roses!From small buds they grew into large flowers and filled the air with their perfume.
Colin saw it all.He watched the changes as they happened.Dickon pushed his wheelchair to the garden every morning and he spent the day there.Sometimes Colin sat on the grass watching the insects.One day,he watched a mole(鼴鼠) digging a hole.He learnt a lot of things about the ways of these insects and animals.And Dickon taught him about the animals in the wood.
One morning,the children were in the secret garden as usual.When Ben Weatherstaff arrived,Colin said, "Good morning,Ben Weatherstaff.I want you and Dickon and Mary to listen to me because I'm going to tell you something very important."
"Yes,sir!"answered Ben Weatherstaff.
"I'm going to do a scientific experiment(科學實驗),"he said. "When I grow up,I'm going to make scientific discoveries about magic and I'm going to start with this experiment.Do you understand?"
"Yes,sir!"said Ben Weatherstaff,but he didn't really understand.
"I believe that there is magic in everything,"continued Colin. "Dickon knows some magic.He charms animals and people.Mary also knows a bit of magic because she was born in India.There's magic in the garden too.I'm going to try and put some in me because I want to be well and strong.I'm going to say—Magic is in me!And you must all say it too.That is my experiment.Are you going to help,Ben Weatherstaff?"
"Yes,sir!"answered Ben Weatherstaff.
They sat down in a circle.The crow,the fox,the squirrels and the lamb were very curious.
"Now,let's begin,"Colin said,and they all started chanting(吟唱).
"Magic is in me.Magic is in me.Magic is in all of us."
Then Colin stood up and walked round the garden.He went in front with Dickon on one side and Mary on the other.Ben Weatherstaff walked behind.
Colin walked a bit then rested.Then he walked again and rested again.At first,he held Dickon's arm.Then he walked a few steps alone.
"I can walk!The magic worked!"he cried.
"What is the doctor going to say?"asked Mary.
"Nothing,"Colin answered. "Because we aren't going to tell him.No one must know that I can walk and run.It's a surprise for my father when he comes back to Misselthwaite."
"He's going to think it's a dream,"said Mary.

One Day
One day I counted your fingers and kissed each one.
One day the first snowflakes fell,and I held you up and watched them melt on your baby skin.
One day,we crossed the street,and you held my hand tight.
Then,you were my baby,and now you are my child.
Sometimes,when you sleep,I watch your dream,and I dream too...
That someday you will dive into the cool,clear water of a lake.
Someday you will walk into a deep wood.
Someday you will run so fast and so far,your heart will feel like fire.
Someday you will swing high,so high,higher than you ever dared to swing.
Someday you will hear something so unhappy that you will fold up with sorrow.
Someday you will call a song to the wind,and the wind will carry your song away.
Someday I will stand on this porch and watch your arms waving to me until I no longer see you.
Someday you will look at this house and wonder how something that feels so big can look so small.
Someday I will watch you brushing your child's hair.
Someday,a long time from now,your own hair will glow silver in the sun.
And when that day comes,love,you will remember me.
