The children had now nowhere to play. There were no gardens around and the roads were busy and crowded. After school they used to go round the high wall and talk about the beautiful garden inside. "How happy we were there!" they said to each other.

Then came the spring. And all over the country there were flowers and there were birds. Only in the garden of the Giant it was still winter. Here no birds were singing and no flowers blossoming. There were only snow and frost and north wind in it.
"I cannot understand why the spring is so late in coming," said the Giant. He was sitting at the window of his big castle and looking out at his cold, dry and lifeless garden.
"I hope there will be a change in the weather."
But neither spring nor summer came to his garden.
