Mary's parents died of cholera (霍乱). She was
1 to live with her uncle, Mr Craven, in a big house in England. There was nothing for Mary to do in the house,
2 every day she walked in the gardens. She spent most of her time outdoors and began to feel healthier and happier than she had felt for a very long time.
One day, she found a garden
3 a door in the wall. Then, she heard a bird
4. She was pleased to see the bird and talked to it. “You live in that garden, don't you?” she said. “But no one can go in because there isn't a door. I want to know what's
5 this wall.”
The next morning, when Martha, a maid (女仆) in the house, brought her breakfast, she asked, “Martha, why isn't there a door in the wall of one of the gardens?” “No one is
6 in there,” Martha answered. “Even Mr Craven never goes in there.” “But why not? What's wrong
7 the place?”
“I don't know for certain,” Martha answered, “but the story is that when Mr Craven married, he and his young wife were very happy. They used to spend a lot of their time together in that garden
8. Then one day, a branch (树枝) of a tree fell down and
9 Mr Craven's wife on the head. The next day she died.”
“Oh, that is
10 a sad story,” Mary said.
