The Selfish Giant
The giant has got a lovely garden. The children want to
play in the garden, but the giant was selfish. 'It's my
garden," he says. "I don't want children here." He builds
a wall around the garden. In the spring there are no
flowers or birds in the giant's garden. It is winter all year.
The giant isn't happy. Then one day, the children find
the hole in the wall. They go on and play. The giant
hears the children in the garden. There are birds and
flowers, too. The giant is happy because it is spring
again. "This is your garden now, children,' he says. The
children are happy and the giant is not selfish now.
