The giant felt sorry as he looked out. "How selfish I have been!" he said to himself. "Now I know why the spring would not come here."

So, he quickly went out into the garden. But when the children saw him they were so frightened that they all ran away, and the garden became winter again. Only the little boy did not run, for his eyes were so full of tears that he did not see the giant coming. The giant quietly came behind him, took him gently in his hands and put him up in the tree. And the tree at once broke into blossom, and the birds came and sang on it. The little boy stretched out his two arms, flung them round the giant's neck and kissed him.

The other children saw this. They saw that the giant was not wicked any longer. So, they came running back. And with them came the spring.

"It's your garden now, little children," said the giant. Then he took a huge axe and knocked the wall down. And the people passing by found the giant playing with the children in the most beautiful garden in the country.
