"The Enchanted Garden"

I am reading the book called "The Enchanted Garden" which was written by Italo Calvino. Our class had discuss about this story and one of my friend “Pueng” said that may be the theme of this story is about life that is not easy. No matter what you are rich or poor, most of them will not have a perfect life. Same as in this story the two children; they don’t have a perfect life. They have play in the garden called The Enchanted Garden but they were not happy to play in this garden because they afraid that other people will see them and catch them.

While I have reading this story I used a reading strategy to help me to understand the story like for example some paragraph I don’t understand what is it about so I re-read the paragraph again and also read it slowly to make sure that I understand right like example in the story “they found themselves in the corner of the garden, on all fours in a flower bed, with their full of dry leaves and moss.”
