### Reading Comprehension Passage: The Secret Garden
Once upon a time, in a forgotten part of England, there was a beautiful but overgrown garden that had been hidden away for years. It belonged to a kind-hearted man named Mr. Craven, but after the death of his wife, he locked it away, believing it would keep his pain at bay.
A curious girl named Mary Lennox stumbled upon the garden when she was sent to live with her uncle, Mr. Craven. Mary had always been a lonely child, used to getting her way. But this garden intrigued her. It was filled with wild roses, twisting vines, and secret paths. As she explored, she felt a spark of joy grow within her.
Mary wasn’t alone in her adventure. She met a boy named Dickon, who had a special connection to nature and could charm animals with his gentle ways. Together, they decided to breathe life back into the garden. They worked hard, planting seeds, pulling weeds, and caring for the flowers.
As the garden flourished, so did Mary. She transformed from a sour, lonely girl into a cheerful, caring friend. Through their hard work and determination, the garden blossomed, and Mary discovered the power of friendship and love.
