The Story

There was once a giant who wasn't nice at all. He went away to visit a friend and didn't come back for several years. While he was away, children came to play in the giant's garden. They were happy and forgot all about him.

Then the giant came back. He bellowed at the children in anger, and they all ran away. So the giant built a tall wall and put up a notice, warning the children to keep out. At first the giant was pleased. Then he noticed that no birds came and sang in his garden any more. And worse, it was always winter. The giant became sad.

Then one morning the song of a bird woke the giant. He looked out and saw that the children had come back. They had crept through a hole in the wall, and now the garden was full of flowers and birds.

The giant tore down the wall and promised never to be selfish again.
