Q2. Why was it still winter in one corner of the garden?
Answer:-In one corner of the garden, there was a tree all covered with frost and snow. The North Wind was blowing and roaring above it. A little boy was standing in front of it, but could not reach its branches. As a result, there was still winter in this part of the garden.
Q3. Describe the first meeting of the little boy and the Giant.
Answer;-The little boy was unable to climb a branch of the tree and crying. The Giant lifted him and put on a branch. The little boy was so happy that he kissed the Giant.
Q4. Describe their second meeting after a long interval.

3.The first meeting of the little boy and the Giant was beneath the tree that was covered with frost and snow. The Giant took him gently in his hands and put him in the branch of that tree. The tree at once blossomed, and the birds came and sang on it. The little boy stretched out his two arms, flung them round the Giant's neck, and kissed him.
4. Their second meeting took place after a long interval; on a winter morning. The Giant was surprised to see that in the farthest corner of the garden, there was a tree covered with lovely white blossoms. Its branches were golden, and silver fruit hung down from them. The little boy stood underneath it. The Giant went towards him in great joy. As he came near the child, his face grew red with anger when he saw that there were imprints of nails on his palms and feet. The Giant asked the little boy who had wounded him and told him that he would kill the one who had done so. The child answered that those were the wounds of love. Kneeling before the little child in awe, the Giant asked him who he was. The child smiled at the Giant andtold him that since he had let him play once in his garden, that day he would come with him to his garden, which was paradise.
