When the Giant returned and saw the children playing he got very angry and annoyed and threw them all out. He built a high wall around his garden and put up a notice board saying that no one was allowed to come in. Now the spring and summer came but did not enter the Giant’s garden. There it was always winter. There were no blossoms or fruits and no birds sang. One day as he lay awake he heard the beautiful song of a bird. What had happened was that through a hole in the wall some children had crept in to play and spring had come with them. The Giant understood his selfishness and crept downstairs and slipped into the garden. Seeing him the frightened children took to their heels. Only one little boy did not run as he his eyes were so full of tears at not being able to climb the tree that he had not seen the Giant. Now, the Giant gently picked up the little boy and placed him on the tree. The happy boy flung his arms round the Giant’s neck and kissed him. Seeing that the Giant was not wicked any longer, the other children rushed in and with them came spring. “It’s your garden,” said the Giant and knocked down the high wall with his axe. The Giant’s garden became the children’s playground. There after the garden never had winter. 1.
