The secret garden — Chapter Eight The Robin shows the way

　　It was a doorknob!

　　Mary put her hands under the thick leaves. She pulled and pushed them aside. Yes, there was a door in the wall of the secret garden! She had found it! Mary"s heart was pounding with excitement. The robin was singing loudly, as if he were just as excited. And the door had a key hole!

　　Mary took out the old key from her pocket. She pushed it in the key hole. She had to turn the key with both hands, but it worked.

　　Then Mary took a deep breath and looked around her. There was no one coming. No one had seen her open the door.

　　Mary pushed back the leaves again and opened the door. It hadn"t been opened in ten years, so it opened very slowly. Then she went through the door and shut it behind her. She stood around looking amazed.

　　She was standing inside the secret garden.
