The secret garden — Chapter Seventeen Ben Weatherstaff (下)
Dickon quickly dug a wide, deep hole in the ground. When Ben brought the rose, he took it out of its pot. He handed it to Colin.
"Here, boy," he said. "Put it in the ground yourself, like a king does when he goes to a new place."
Colin placed the rose in the hole in the ground. Then Dickon and Ben put dirt around the plant. They pressed it down firmly.
"It"s planted!" said Colin. "Look, the sun is going down. I want to be standing when it leaves the sky. Help me, Dickon."
And when the sun went down, Colin was standing on his feet, laughing. It seemed there really was magic in the garden.
