The selfish giant

Ever since the giant drove all the children out of his beautiful garden and built a high wall, it has been an icy winter. One day, however, the children slip through a hole in the wall, climb the trees and play in the garden. Spring returns. And when the giant helps a desperate little boy to climb a tree, even the selfish giant's cold heart melts. A fairy tale by Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) about reconciliation and love of neighbour, told close to the original text.
