7. the season change in the garden With the arrival of spring, the whole land blossomed and the melodies of the little birds resounded. But in the kingdom of the selfish giant, winter still lingered. The absence of children meant that the birds stopped singing and the trees refused to blossom. Even a brave flower that tried to show itself withdrew at the sight of a sad table and slept underground. One morning, while the giant was still in bed, he heard a charming music that seemed to come from the king's musicians. Surprisingly, it was a little linnet outside his window, whose song had the sweetest resonance after years of silence. A spark of hope flared up in the giant — he believed spring had finally arrived. He jumped out of bed and rushed to the window to see if his long-awaited wish had come true.

The children looked up at him with wide eyes and he saw the innocence and wonderment in their faces. They were not there to cause harm, but simply to enjoy the beauty of his garden.

Only in one corner it was still winter. It was the farthest corner of the garden, and in it stood a little boy. He was so small that he could not reach up to the branches of the tree, and he wandered around it, crying bitterly. The poor tree was still covered with frost and snow, and the north wind was blowing and rustling above it. “Climb up, little boy,” said the tree, and he bent down his branches as low as he could; but the boy was too small. And the giant’s heart melted as he looked out. “How selfish I have been,” he said, “now I know why the spring did not come come here. I will put the poor little boy at the top of the tree, and then I will pull down the wall, and my garden will be the children’s playground forever and ever.” He was really very sorry for what he had done. So he crept down the stairs and open
