That morning, the doctor arrived later than before. He was surprised to see Colin sitting on the sofa, reading a book and talking to Mary.
"So, you were ill last night, Colin," the doctor said.
"I'm better now," Colin answered. "I'm going out in my wheelchair if it is fine."
The doctor left without saying anything else. That night, Colin slept well. He dreamt about the garden again, and Dickon and his animals.
Early the next morning, Mary ran into his room, "Dickon is here with his animals!" she cried.
Just then, Martha opened the door. "Dickon and his animals are here, sir," she said. Colin looked very excited.
Dickon came in. The new-born lamb was in his arms and the little red fox walked next to him. A bird sat on his left shoulder and a squirrel sat on the other. Another squirrel was looking out of his coat pocket. Colin stared as Dickon gave him the new-born lamb.
"What does it want?" cried Colin.
"It wants its mother," said Dickon, smiling.
He took a baby's bottle from his pocket and the lamb drank some milk, then it fell asleep.
Colin and Mary asked Dickon questions about flowers' names. He knew exactly which ones were already growing in the secret garden.
"I'm going to see them," cried Colin. "I can't believe it!"
The next day, Dickon pushed Colin's wheelchair slowly and carefully. Mary walked next to it. They went across the lawn. Then Dickon stopped pushing the chair.
"And look!" Mary moved the ivy branch.
"Here is the door. Dickon, push him in quickly!" When they were inside the garden, Colin looked round and round.
Excitedly
, he saw the walls and the earth and the trees with their new green leaves. In the grass, there were flowers—gold and purple and white. The trees were covered in pink and white flowers. The sun was warm on his face. Mary and Dickon looked at him. He looked different. His face was pink, not white. "Mary! Dickon! I'm going to get well!" he cried. "
And I'm going to live forever and ever!"
