moral lesson of the story "the secret garden"?

Answer 1

The father in the story had resentments against his son for the loss of his beloved wife. Those resentments, far more than anything physical, are what crippled the boy. He was treated as an invalid, and an invalid he would have remained if normal, healthy children had not invaded his space and taught him to love being out-of-doors and in tune with Mother Nature. His mother had known the importance of that connection; that's why she loved the Secret Garden.

The love that was shown by the cousin and by the nature boy, Dicken, was connected to the love his mother had shown for him and for his father by the garden. The flowers, the birds that nested there, the trees and plants were all symbolic of mother love; Mother Nature is called that for a very good reason.

Eventually, the son healed the emotional scars of the father, because he became healthy and strong through that love.

Answer 2

where ever there is love and happiness...is the true key to success.
