Watch the world famous book "Mysterious Garden" for ten minutes and get physical therapy from nature.

Mary was born in India, and her father worked in the Indian government under British rule. Mother is beautiful, but she just plays around and never takes Mary to heart. The servants obeyed Mary in all aspects, and until they were six years old, they still lived a bossy and selfish life; The tutor couldn't stand her bossiness and was forced to leave. When Mary was nine years old, a cholera epidemic swept through the local area, and death was everywhere. Her Indian servant died, followed by her father and mother. Later, people found the surviving little Mary in the horrible and silent yard.

Mary was first sent to the home of a poor English priest, who had five playful children. Soon they stopped playing with irascible Mary. Among them, naughty Bao Zeou gave Mary a nickname "stubborn temper Mary". Mary soon knew that she would be sent to her uncle's house in England. Her uncle's name is Akipa craven.

A few days later, under the care of an officer's wife, Mary arrived in England after a long journey and gave it to Mrs. medlock, Mr. craven's housekeeper. First, they went to Yorkshire by train. Mrs. medlock took the initiative to talk about Mary's uncle and Misersweet Manor. The houses in the manor have a history of more than 600 years. The house is very big, with nearly 100 rooms, but most of them are locked. Surrounded by a big yard, there are many gardens and trees, and then a wasteland. Craven is a hunchback, inaccessible and eccentric. He married a beautiful woman, and he would do anything for her. But in the end she died.

They got off at a small station, got on a carriage and continued their journey. In the dark, I walked through a wilderness, walked two miles of boulevard, and finally stopped in front of a rectangular low house. Finally, Mary was taken to a room with a stove, and Mrs medlock warned her never to leave here.

The maid who served Mary was named Martha. Mary, who was used to being served, was very angry with Martha for letting her dress herself, and even wanted to slap her in the face. But Martha didn't take her arrogance seriously. Mary felt insulted and thought Martha was too presumptuous as a servant. But in the face of Martha's calmness, she felt desperate and couldn't help lying on the bed and crying. They talked slowly, and Martha told Mary that her family was poor and had more than a dozen brothers and sisters. Among them, Deacon is the cutest. He tamed a pony and liked to deal with animals. Mary has never played with animals. She's curious. Martha suggested that she take more time to run outside, which is good for her health.

Martha told Mary that she could walk in the garden, but one of the small gardens has been closed for more than ten years. Mary asked why craven was so sad after Mrs. craven's sudden death that he locked up his wife's favorite garden and even buried the key. The mystery of the garden aroused Mary's great curiosity and she decided to have a look.

In another garden, Mary met an old man with a shovel. He was surly and old, surprised and indifferent to Mary's arrival. Bold Mary visited more gardens, vegetable gardens and orchards, which were surrounded by walls. Later, she saw a robin with a bright red chest in the tree. It has been singing happily and affectionately, as if it were communicating with Mary. Mary, who has always been withdrawn and arrogant, couldn't help laughing. She returned to the old man the same way, and the other party was still humble; But when Mary talked about robins, the old man was very happy. He whistled. Almost at the same time, the robin flew by and stopped on the big mound beside the old man. The old man said his name was Ben Vihestaff, from Yorkshire. Robins are singing again. Ben told Mary that he wanted to make friends with you. Mary was very happy about it, but unfortunately the bird flew into the garden without a door.

Mary, who is out all day, knows what hunger is. She ate too much, her face was rosy and her eyes were bright. Martha was very satisfied with this and encouraged her to continue her efforts. Robins know her very well. It is often the birds singing in front and Mary chasing after them. But every time a robin flies into that mysterious garden, Mary is helpless. There is no door in the garden. Mary thought there must have been a door ten years ago. Where is it? This matter occupied Mary's mind.

Suddenly, Mary heard a child crying in the wind, as if it were coming from a nearby house. She asked Martha doubtfully, but Martha said in panic that it was the wind. Mary saw from her actions and words that she was not telling the truth. This morning, curious Mary wanted to see what was in these houses. She began to wander in the corridor. Then Mary heard the child crying again. Suddenly, Mrs medlock appeared. She rudely dragged Mary to her room and warned her not to wander around.

The rainstorm has passed and spring has come. Mary and Martha are already very close. Martha told Mary that the wilderness outside the window would soon become beautiful and magical, and Mary was full of longing for it. I also hope to visit Martha's house one day and meet Martha's enthusiastic mother Susan and interesting Deakin. Martha came home from vacation, and lonely Mary came to the garden to chat with an old man. Vihesduff told Mary that spring was coming and let her smell the soil. There are a lot of things in it. Whenever Mary talks about the garden without doors, the old man looks impatient. Just then, the robin flew by, and the old man faltered and said you wanted to ask it. Mary strolled to the garden, and robins danced and sang around her until they took her to a small mound. Soon, Mary found a rusty ring key there. Was it the key to the garden ten years ago? Mary resisted the urge not to let others know. She wants to find the magic door slowly and open it.

Martha, who came back from vacation, happily told Mary everything she had experienced and took out a gift from her mother-a strong red and blue skipping rope. Excited Mary quickly fell in love with this magical rope with Martha's help. She dances in the yard and garden all day. Robbins and the old man are happy for her, especially when they see her getting healthier and healthier.

On this day, the robin followed Mary who jumped rope all the way. She felt the keys collide in her pocket. She suddenly said, you should show me where the doorman is. Robin immediately chirped and took her to a wall. A gust of wind blew the scattered ivy to one side. Mary was surprised to find a spherical doorknob under the ivy. Excited Mary nervously inserted the key under the handle of the doorway. With a slight turn, the door slowly opened and she was already standing in the magic garden.

High walls isolate the garden from the outside world. The walls are covered with thick rose branches, the ground is covered with a layer of hay, and there are bushes. It's quiet and mysterious around. Only robins are jumping around Mary. Mary is not lonely or afraid at all. She really doesn't want the roses in the garden to wither. Finally, she found bright green spots in the black soil, and the garden was still alive. Mary decided to get rid of weeds and let flowers grow well. But Mary needs tools like shovels, so she entrusts Martha's mother to buy what she needs. And wrote a letter to Dickon according to Martha's dictation, urging him to help.

Mary didn't work in vain, and the flowers in the magic garden grew happily. On this day, Mary came to the edge of the forest outside the garden, and a wonderful music attracted her. A boy is sitting under a tree, playing a wooden flute. A squirrel is playing in a tree, and there is a rooster in the bush. Two rabbits sat in front of him as if they were having a concert. This boy is deacon. He came to deliver something to Mary. Deacon brought shovels, rakes and other tools, as well as flower seeds. They talked enthusiastically and looked forward to the beautiful garden. Excited Mary finally revealed the secret of the garden to Dickon and took him to this magical garden.

Deacon is more experienced than Mary. He soon discovered more living flowers and plants. The two happily devoted themselves to the work of tidying up the garden vegetation. They have a common ideal to awaken this magical garden. They deliberately suppressed their laughter in order not to be heard by outsiders.

When Mary ran back to her room for lunch, Mrs medlock told her to get dressed and go to see Mr craven. Craven's hair is gray, and his back is not very hunched. He was upset and asked Mary what she needed. Mary said that she wanted to go out and play freely. She wants a piece of land, sow seeds, germinate and watch them grow. Craven was surprised. He told Mrs medlock to make herself at home and let her live happily.

The rain woke Mary up at night, and she heard someone crying in the corridor again. Curiosity drove Mary to a room, holding a candle in her hand, pursuing the sound. This room is large and luxuriously furnished. A boy was lying in bed crying. He is skinny, skinny, lifeless and bloody. The boy asked her in horror if she was a person or a ghost, and Mary asked him the same thing. The boy said his name was Colin and Clive was his father. So they are cousins. Colin said that he was a patient, lying since he was a child, and when he grew up, he would become a hunchback; Mom died when she was born, and dad didn't like him either. Colin didn't want Mary to leave, so Mary told her story in detail. Corrie said that his happiness is to humiliate others when he is angry; He also said that he would not live long, and the doctor who came to see the doctor was his uncle. He wants Colin to die to inherit. Mary asked him if he wanted to die, but Colin said no.

The two occasionally talked about the garden. Colin is eager to see the garden, dig out the key, open the door and let people push wheelchairs to breathe fresh air. Mary was scared and thought that her secret with Deacon was about to be revealed. It was not until Colin finally promised to keep the garden secret for a while that Mary was relieved. Mary described to Colin what beautiful scenery he would see when he entered the garden in the future. Colin lay in bed and listened comfortably. He wants to know whether Mary has been to the garden because he thinks she knows too much.

Colin asked Mary to pull down the curtain hanging behind the fireplace, and a portrait was displayed in front of her eyes. That's a smiling girl, and Colin says it's his mother. Mary asked what to do if the servant knew that she had been here. Colin said he was a young master, and they all had to listen to themselves. He hopes that Mary will come to chat every day. Mary said she would look for the door in the garden. Colin was sleepy, and Mary felt sorry for him, so she patted his hand and sang an Indian folk song. Happy Colin fell asleep in a daze.

Mary told Martha about seeing Colin, which made Martha cry and feel that she was going to be fired. Mary assured her that it was all right, but Martha doubted it. She told Mary that Colin's mother had died. He has rheumatism and typhoid fever, and colds are common. He almost died several times. He has a big temper and is often angry, so the servants are afraid of him. Martha went to Colin's house to have a look. When she came back, she was puzzled and said that Mary was fascinated by him and asked her to chat.

Mary told Colin the story of Deacon, and Colin was fascinated, especially because Deacon had such magical power that many animals ran around him. That's great. Colin is eager to go to the fields and Woods, and Mary boldly encourages him to go. But Colin was worried that he would die. His servants and his uncle, Dr. craven, all looked forward to his death, even his father. But Mary doesn't believe that her uncle is such a person. Mary convinced Colin that Dickon would make him happy, and the more they talked, the happier they became. This scene frightened Dr. craven and Mrs. medlock who came in. They were surprised that Colin hadn't seen each other for days.

Worried Mary ran to the garden again and saw Deacon who had arrived. They looked at the freshness and beauty of the garden happily. Mary told Dickon the story of Colin. Deacon thinks Colin should come to nature, breathe the air and become healthy.

Mary can't be with Colin because she is busy taking care of Deacon's garden. Colin lost his temper and was jealous that she was with Deacon. Colin rudely insulted Mary, and Mary did not show weakness and hit her back. In the middle of the night, Colin began to make noise again. The servants panicked and came to Mary for help. Mary was furious and yelled at Colin in bed, hitting him in the soft spot until Colin sobbed for mercy. She lifted Colin's clothes and said that there was no lump on your back and you wouldn't stoop. In the slow enlightenment, Colin extinguished his anger and the two shook hands.

Colin also heard the footsteps of spring. This morning, Colin asked Mary to open the window and door. Dickon came: the crow flew in the air, holding the lamb in its arms, surrounded by the red fox and the squirrel in its pocket. Seeing all this, Colin was too excited to speak. The three children gently fed the goat's milk together and looked at the pictures of plants in Colin's gardening book. Under the introduction of Deacon, Colin was very interested and shouted to go to the garden. Mary said seriously that you should go at once.

After careful planning, Colin strictly forbids any servant and gardener to go near the garden without permission. Soon, Mary and Deacon pushed Colin into the garden with a trolley. All their dreams have come true and they have seen everything they want to see. Colin couldn't help shouting excitedly: I want to live forever, and I will be fine.

Three children are busy in the beautiful garden. They lament the magic of nature and enjoy the infinite vitality brought by spring. Colin also saw a robin. Colin firmly believes that there is a magical power in the world, which is changing the world and changing itself. The old man stepped on the ladder and found them from the wall. The old man saw the shadow of his wife in Colin's eyes.

With everyone's efforts, Colin not only stood up from the wheelchair, but also tried to take a walk in the garden. Colin works with everyone, grows flowers and plants, and has a much gentler temper. Like Mary at the beginning, exercise exercised him and turned him into a handsome teenager. He is looking forward to a bright future, hoping to become a scientific inventor and concentrate on studying this beautiful and mysterious world. Dr. craven's plot went bankrupt, and he accepted everything in front of him. In order to supplement their nutrition, Deakin's mother Susan is warm-hearted and considerate. Every day, she prepares milk and bread for Deacon and sends them to the garden. When she is tired of playing, the little ones will be full. Deacon also taught them to cook potatoes and roast chicken eggs in the Woods. Colin became more energetic and strong when he practiced walking.

Colin decided to behave well and be sure to give his father a big surprise when he comes back later. To this end, they still pretend to do so, and still put Colin in a wheelchair on the way back and forth, keeping the servants busy. Faced with the increasing weight and ruddy young master, doctors and servants are full of doubts; The children are afraid to laugh when they see it. Facing the puzzled eyes of the adults, Mary had a new idea. Colin ordered him and his cousin Mary to visit those empty houses, and no one else could come up without permission. They practiced walking in those houses. Colin also opened the curtain on his mother's portrait. He thinks he can face his mother with dignity.

Colin recovered completely, and he gave a speech to Mary Deakin and them with what he had read. Deakin also happily sang a hymn: Great God, the source of happiness, people all over the world praise you, Great God, omnipotent immortality, you will live in our hearts forever. Colin was fascinated by this touching song. He begged Deacon to sing it again, and everyone sang along. The old man was also infected and baptized, and shed tears of repentance.

Deacon's mother Susan came and the children gathered around. Soapy felt a pang of sadness when he saw Colin. She comforted Colin that his father would like him; He put his arm around Mary's shoulder and said, You will be as beautiful and lovely as your mother. God bless you. When saying goodbye, Colin nervously took Susan's hand and said, I hope you are my mother too. Susan said with tears in her eyes, dear child, your mother is in this garden. She won't leave you.

Craven has experienced too much in this decade. In order to alleviate his thoughts about his wife, he chose to escape. Nothing can drive away the obstacles in his heart. He lost his passion for life and his courage to work. But recently, in the valley of Austria, he felt the greatness of life invisibly, with streams gurgling and birds singing and flowers smelling. This reminds him of his hometown and his wife's garden. A magical force drove him to decide to go home.

A few days later, when he returned to the manor, the servants greeted him as usual and marveled at his master's spirit. He inquired about his son and was puzzled by his strange behavior. He wandered into his wife's garden, but forgot where he put his keys. At this time, he suddenly heard the sound of children frolicking in the garden, unrestrained, as if afraid of being heard by adults. This is not a dream, is it? Suddenly, the door under the Ivy League slammed open, and a boy rushed out and almost ran into craven. A tall and handsome boy is flushed and full of energy, and a thick head of hair covers his forehead. Both of them were very excited. Colin said excitedly and loudly, "Dad, it's Colin." Craven murmured, "Sure enough, in the garden, in the garden." Facing everything in the garden and listening to the children's stories, craven sometimes laughs and sometimes tears. He said happily, "The garden is alive again".

Surprise is still there, male and female servants rushed to the window and saw the owner of the manor, craven, coming with a strong boy, holding his head high and confident. Isn't this Master Colin?
