There was magic in the secret garden in spring. First everything turned green. Then the green changed to colors— blue, purple and red. There were flowers everywhere. The roses— the roses! From small buds they grew into large flowers and filled the air with pleasant smell.
Colin was sick and thought that he would die soon. But he watched all the changes as they happened in spring. Dickon, Colin's friend, pushed Colin on wheelchair to the garden every morning and Colin spent the day there. Sometimes he sat on the grass watching the insects. He once watched a mouse digging a hole. He learnt a lot of things about the ways of these insects and animals.
One morning Dickon pushed Colin to the secret garden as usual. Mary, Colin's cousin, and Ben Weatherstaff, the gardener, were there too. Colin said, "I want to tell you something very important. "
"I believe that there is magic in everything, " continued Colin. "Dickon knows some magic. He charms（迷住）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. Please sing ' Magic is in me!' with me. "
"Magic is in me. Magic is in me. Magic is in all of us. " They started singing.
Then Colin tried to walk on his own. His first step was shaky（摇晃的）and he even fell to the ground. But as he took further steps forward, he soon got used to it and was able to walk smoothly. Although he was slow, he did not fall again.
"I can walk! The magic worked!" he cried.
