    The children used to play in the Giant's garden, which had beautiful flowers and singing birds. When the Giant returned after seven years away, he saw the children playing and chased them away, building a high wall around the garden. Spring did not come to the walled garden because the Giant was selfish. One morning, the Giant heard music and saw the children playing in the garden through a hole, with the trees in bloom. He realized his selfishness had prevented spring and decided to open the garden to the children forevermore, bringing spring with them.

    The Selfish Giant


    By Oscar Wilde

    Read the story. Then answer the questions.


    Every afternoon, the children used to go and play in the Giant's garden. It was a
    large garden, here and there stood beautiful flowers and there were peach-
    trees the birds sat on the trees and sang so sweetly that the children listen to
    them. One day the Giant came back. He had been to visit his friend and had
    stayed with him for seven years. He saw the children playing in the garden.
    'What are you doing here?' he cried, and the children ran away. The Giant built
    a high wall around it. Then the spring came, only in the garden of the Selfish
    Giant it was still winter. 'I cannot understand why the spring is so late in
    coming,' said the Selfish Giant. One morning the Giant heard some music. It
    sounded sweet to his ears, 'I believe the spring has come at last,' said the Giant.
    Then he saw a most wonderful sight. Through a little hole in the wall the
    children had crept in, and they were sitting in the branches of the trees. And the
    trees had covered themselves with blossoms, the birds were twittering and the
    flowers were looking up. 'How selfish I have been!' he said; 'now I know why
    the spring would not come here. I will knock down the wall, and my garden shall
    be the children's playground forever.' So he opened the front door and the
    children, when they saw that the Giant was not wicked any longer, came
    running, and with them came the spring. 'It is your garden now, little children,'
    said the Giant, and he knocked down the wall. All day long children played, and
    in the evening they came to the Giant to bid him good-bye.

    Answer each question.


    1. Where did the children play and how did the garden look?
    2. Who came back and what did he do?
    3. Why did the spring not come in the Giant’s garden?
    4. What did the Giant hear one morning?
    5. What did he say to himself?
