Narrator (can be read by the teacher or a student):
Since Mary and Dickon brought Colin to the secret garden, Colin has grown stronger every day. The fresh air, the birds, and the friendship have helped him. Today, they decide to do something brave.
Mary: (standing with her hands on her hips, looking at Colin)
Colin, you’ve been practising for days. Are you really going to try today?
Colin: (sitting on a stool or chair, holding his legs)
No… what if my back is still crooked? What if I can’t stand? Father said I would become a hunchback (驼背).
Dickon: (kneeling beside him, speaking softly)
Look at that rosebush, Colin. Last month it was just a dry stick. Now it’s blooming. The garden changed. You can change too. I’m here. Mary is here.
Mary: (reaching out her hand)
I’ll tell you a secret. When I first came here, I was spoiled and angry. I hated everyone. But then I found the key. I found the garden. I found you two. Now I’m not the same Mary. You don’t have to be the same Colin who thought he was sick.
Colin: (looking up, slowly reaching out)
Will you hold me?
Mary & Dickon together: Of course!
(Mary and Dickon stand on each side. Colin slowly rises, first holding the stool, then letting go.)
Colin: (voice shaking, but filled with surprise)
I’m… I’m standing! My legs are straight!
Dickon: (smiling wide)
You’re as straight as a young oak tree!
Mary: (excited)
Now take a step! Just one step!
Colin: (takes a deep breath, steps carefully, then laughs)
I walked! I really walked! I’m not ill! I want Father to see me!
Mary: (jumping with joy)
Maybe the garden does have magic — but the magic is us!
Dickon: (pointing to the garden)
Look! Even the bird is singing for you.
(The three children laugh together. Colin takes a few more steps.)
Narrator:
That day, Colin proved he was healthy. The secret garden did not just bring plants back to life — it gave the children courage, friendship, and the joy of growing.
