The Selfish Giant
Every afternoon, as the children were coming back from school, they used to go and play in the giant's garden.
It was a beautiful large garden. Beautiful flowers grew in the grass. There were twelve fruit trees. In the spring the fruit trees were covered with red and white flowers, and later in the year they bore rich fruit. The birds sang in the trees so sweetly that sometimes the children stopped trden. "What are you doing here?" he cried in a very loud voice. The children ran away."My own garden is my own garden," said the giant. "I will allow no one to play in it but myself.Kundenkartenbose headphonesaluminum coilgate valvescheck valves"So he built a high wall round it and put up a notice: Keep out. He was a very selfish giant. So the children had nowhere to play. They tried to play on the road, but the road was dusty and full of hard stone, and they did not like itglobe valveroller bearingPortable DVD playersRay Banmolded case circuit breakerfoley catheterpolo shirtsfinal fantasy xi gil. They wandered round the high walls when their lessons were finished and talked about the beautiful garden inside. "How happy we were there!" they said to each other.The spring came, and there were flowers and little birds all over the country. But in the garden of the Selfish Giant it was till winter the birds did not like to sing in it because there were no children, and the trees forgot to bear flowers. Snow covered up the grass, and ice covered all the trees with silver. The north wind came, and driving rain."I can't understand that it seemed to him the most beautiful music in the world. Then the north wind and the rain stopped."I believe that spring has come at last!" said the giant. He jumped out of bed and looked out. What did he see?
He saw a most wonderful sight. The children had come in though a hole in the wall and were sitting in the branches of the trees. There was a little child in every tree that he could see. The trees were so glad to have the children back that they had covered themselves with flowers: the birds were flying about and singing with joy, and flowers were looking up through the green grass.

He was so small that he could not reach up to the branches of the tree, but was wandering round it and weeping. That tree was still covered with ice and snow."How selfish I have been!" said the giant. "Now I know why the spring would not come here. I'll put the little boy on the top of the tree. and the little boy put his arms round the giant's neck and kissed him.
The other children saw that giant was not bad and selfish now, so they came running back."It's your garden now, little children," said the giant, and he pulled down the wall.When the people were going along the road to the town, they found the giant playing with the childrencnc engraving machinechina valveplastic business cardButterfly valvewholesale t shirtswow powerlevelingpolo shirtKnight GoldPerfect world goldCabal AlzCabal online Alzin the most beautiful garden they had ever seen.The children played all day, and in the evening they came to the giant to say goodbye to him."But where is your little friend?" he said. "Where is the little boy I put in the tree?" The giant loved him best because the little boy had kissed him."We don't know," answered the children. "he has gone away.""You must tell him to come tomorrow, he must come tomorrow." "We don't know where he lives. We had never seen him before." The giant felt very sad.Every afternoon when school ended, the children came and played with the giant. But the little boy whom the giant loved was never seen again. The giant was very kind to all the children, but he did want to see his first little friend.

He could not play in the garden now; were resting: he knew that they would come again. Suddenly he rubbed his eyes; he looked again at the wonderful sight! In the farthest corner of the garden there was a tree quite covered with beautiful white flowers. Its branches were golden, and silver fruit hung down from them.eq2 power levelingguild wars goldcheap guild wars goldlord of the rings goldLineage 2 Power LevelingMp4 playerffxi power levelingAnd the little boy whom he loved was standing under the tree.He ran out into the garden: he hurried across the grass and came near the child.
