The garden, with the "forbidden Apple tree" (unless given permission to pluck a piece of magic fruit for the benefit of someone else) is like the biblical garden of eve in the book of Genesis. I think even a child might grasp that similarity. Then, the temptation from the witch ("Queen Jadis", the newly awakened evil already seeking a victim of her wiles by lying, tempting, using manipulative con-games about Digory's sick mother)... The gate with the warning, the bird watching but not being heeded, all seem so clearly written to represent the garden of eden in the Bible, already with evil having creeped in uninvited but this time Digory resisted the temptation to pluck an Apple for his mother. He literally flees with Polly and Fledge and to Aslan. And for that Aslan rewards him.
