the story of The Selfish Giant

Here and there over the grass stood stunning vegetation like stars, and there had been twelve peach-bushes that within the spring-time broke out into sensitive blossoms of crimson and pearl, and in the autumn bore rich fruit. The birds sat at the timber and sang so sweetly that the youngsters used to forestall their video games so that you can pay attention to them. "How satisfied we're here!" they cried to each other.

One day the Giant got here back. He had been to go to his friend the Cornish ogre, and had stayed with him for seven years. After the seven years have been over he had stated all that he had to say, for his verbal exchange turned into limited, and he determined to go back to his own castle. When he arrived he noticed the children gambling inside the lawn.

"What are you doing here?" he cried in a very gruff voice, and the youngsters ran away.

"My very own garden is my own lawn," said the Giant; "anybody can understand that, and I will allow no one to play in it but myself." So he built a high wall all round it, and positioned up a note-board.

WILL BE
PROSECUTED

The terrible kids had now nowhere to play. They tried to play on the road, however the road turned into very dusty and complete of tough stones, and they did not find it irresistible. They used to wander round the excessive wall while their instructions have been over, and talk about the beautiful lawn inside. "How happy we had been there," they stated to every different.

The birds did not care to sing in it as there have been no kids, and the trees forgot to blossom. Once a beautiful flower positioned its head out from the grass, but when it saw the attention-board it became so sorry for the kids that it slipped returned into the floor once more, and went off to sleep. The most effective those who had been thrilled had been the Snow and the Frost. "Spring has forgotten this lawn," they cried, "so we will live here all the year spherical." The Snow blanketed up the grass together with her outstanding white cloak, and the Frost painted all the trees silver. Then they invited the North Wind to stay with them, and he came. He turned into wrapped in furs, and he roared all day about the garden, and blew the chimney-pots down. "This is a satisfying spot," he stated, "we need to ask the Hail on a go to." So the Hail got here. Every day for three hours he rattled at the roof of the fort till he broke maximum of the slates, and then he ran round and round the garden as fast as he could go. He become dressed in grey, and his breath became like ice.
