The selfish Giant(part-3 & end)

One morning the Giant was lying awake in bed when he heard some lovely music... It was so sweet to his ears that he thought it must be the king's musician passing by... But in fact it was only a little bird singing outside his window... Then the north wind stopped and a delicious perfium came to him through the open window... I believe the spring has come at last,, said the Giant... He jumped out the bed and looked out.. What did he see???

He saw the most wonderful sight... Through a little hole in the wall the children crept in and they were sitting in the branch of the tree... In every tree there was a little child. . And the trees were so delighted to have the children back Again that the covered themselves with blossoms.... They were waving theirs arms gently above the children's head... The birds were flying about and twittering delightfully... The flowers were looking up through the green grass and laughing...

But only in one cornar of the garden it was still winter .... There under a tree a little boy was standing along crying.... He was so small that he could not reach up to the branches of the tree... The poor tree was still covered with snow,, and the north wind was blowing above it

The Giant felt sorry as he looked out... How selfish I have been!!! He said to himself... Now I know why the spring would not come here...

So he quickly went out into the garden... But when the children saw him they were so frightened that they all ran away,,, and the garden became winter again... Only the little boy didnot run for his eyes were so full of tears that he didnot see the Giant coming.. The Giant quoetly came behind him took him gently un his hands and put him up into the tree.. And the tree at once brock into Blossoms and the bird s came and song on it... The little boy stretched out his two arms,, flung them round the Giant's neck and kissed him..

The other children saw this.. They saw that the giant was not wicked any longer... So they came running back... And with them came the spring... It's your garden now little children,, said the Giant... Then he took a huge axe and knocked the wall down... And the people passing by found the Giant playing with the children in the most beautiful garden in the country....
