Every afternoon, as they were coming from school, the children used to go and play in the Giant's garden..
It was a large lovely garden, with soft green grass. Here and there over the grass stood beautiful flowers like stars, and there were twelve peach-trees that in the spring-time broke out into delicate blossoms of pink and pearl, and in the autumn bore rich fruit. The birds sat on the trees and sang so sweetly that the children used to stop their games in order to listen to them. "How happy we are here!" they cried to each other.






One day the Giant came back. He had been to visit his friend the Cornish ogre, because they needed to talk about some troubles that they had, when the giant arrived he saw all those lovely children palying in his garden.
"What are you doing here?" he cried in a very gruff voice, and the children ran away.
the giant was so angry then he built a really high wall around it, and put up a notice-board.
"TRESPASSERS WILL BE PROSECUTED"




The poor children had now nowhere to play. They tried to play on the road, but the road was very dusty and full of hard stones, and they did not like it. they used to say themselves "how we were hapy there"
Then the Spring came, and all over the country there were little blossoms and little birds. Only in the garden of the Selfish Giant it was still winter. the birds did not want to sing in the giant's garden and the trees were sleeping jet.
"I cannot understand why the Spring is so late in coming," said the Selfish Giant, as he sat at the window and looked out at his cold white garden; "I hope there will be a change in the weather."
But the Spring never came, nor the Summer. The Autumn gave golden fruit to every garden, but to the Giant's garden she gave none. "He is too selfish," she said. So it was always Winter there, and the North Wind, and the Hail, and the Frost, and the Snow danced about through the trees.
lying in his armchair the giant saw something shining throught his big wall, what could it be? he wondered himself.
he saw all the children playing and laughing around the trees, but there was a little boy, he was so little that he could not play with the others boys. the giant decided to go where the boys were, unfortunately when the children saw him they run away quickly.
the giant played with the little boy, in this moment the giant realized how selfish he had been.
The children were invited by the giant to play in his garden, and he was not wicked any longer, All day long they played, and in the evening they came to the Giant to bid him good-bye.
"But where is your little companion?" he said: the little boy whom I played but their answer was always the same. they did not know nothing about that little boy who appeared once.
Years went over, and the Giant grew very old and feeble. He could not play about any more, so he sat in a huge armchair, and watched the children at their games, and admired his garden.
"I have many beautiful flowers," he said; "but the children are the most beautiful flowers of all."

One winter morning he saw the boy who he loved in front him with a sweet smile in his face and the little boy say to him:
"You let me play once in your garden, to-day you shall come with me to my garden, which is Paradise."
And when the children ran in that afternoon, they found the Giant lying dead under the tree, all covered with white blossoms.
