A Secret Garden

  A SECRET GARDEN


I had to move away from my home because my parents had work away from home. I loved where I was and I did not want to leave but I guess I had to. My parents didn’t get to spend much time with me. I was a single child and that meant that I had to stay with my parents' friends for a while and so I went exploring the house. I thought it was haunted for a while. I went exploring outside. It was wonderful outside. I was speechless for a moment but then I got my voice back. It got a little bit chilly so I went back to the house and got some warmer clothes.Then I went back outside when I was outside I discovered that these friends of my parents had children! Now you're probably wondering how I found this out well by peeking through a window and seeing two wonderful children playing and giggling together. One was a girl and one was a boy.The boy was about the same age as me and the girl was a little bit younger. They nearly saw me but I ducked just in time. Then I heard footsteps,someone  no two  someones were coming my way, then I heard the door open. I ran around the corner so they couldn't see me. Then I heard them coming round the corner so I ran. But then  tripped, fell and got caught  but luckily it was just the children.  They didn’t growl at me or shout or anything like that really. In fact they only asked if I would like to play with them. I said that if they wanted to play with me they would have to keep it a secret because I wasn't supposed to be outside. They said that they would keep the secret but there was something that I had to do first. I had to complete their smartness and strength trial. They said to follow so I followed them. They brought me to a big wall and told me that I had to find a key to the door in the wall. I went inside to try and find the key and then I remembered that I saw a key in the drawer that was in their mothers room or you could say one of their mothers rooms. You see the house was huge. I went and opened the drawer and found the key exactly where it was before. I picked it up and went outside when I got there they were still waiting for me and then asked if I had found the key I said that I found a key but I didn’t know if it was the one to the door. They said to try it in the door so I tried it in the door and it worked. We went inside and found a garden that was waiting to be planted so we planted the garden over time the garden grew and eventually


it was the most beautiful garden you would ever see. We visited it every day and became great friends. We had picnics, played games in the garden and sometimes we would plant new plants. Then one day we found another part of the garden. In that part of the garden there was a swing with a beautiful curved wall around it and a big tree the swing hang of that tree. The swing looked rather old, so did the wall. We could tell that no one had been in here for a long time. We also discovered some photos of the children and I. They were old and crumpled. In the picture there was me and the children  playing together in this exact garden with our parents. Oh how wonderful this photo was I thought.we found the photo in this drawer. The drawer was in a different curved wall. What was different about the wall was that it had a big door in it and it also had a roof. It looked kind of like a gnome house except there weren't any gnomes. One year later, I got a letter saying my parents were coming to pick me up. I did not want to go though because I was now happy where I was. When they arrived I told them that I didn’t want to leave and then they started laughing. I asked why they were laughing and they said that they figured that I wasn’t going to want to leave so they organised for them to live there so I showed them around the place and told them everything that happened. And we lived happily ever after.



THE END
