Every afternoon, as they were coming from school, the
children used to go and play in the Giant's
garden. It was a large lovely garden, with soft
green grass. Here and there over the grass stood
beautiful flowers like stars, and there were twelve peach-trees
that in the spring-time broke out into delicate blossoms
of pink and pearl, and in the autumn bore
rich fruit. The birds sat on the trees and
sang so sweetly that the children used to stop
their games in order to listen to them. 'How
happy we are here!' they cried to each other.
One day the Giant came back. He had been
to visit his friend the Cornish ogre and had
stayed with him for seven years. After the seven
years were over he had said all that he
had to say, for his conversation was limited, and
he determined to return to his own castle. When
he arrived he saw the children playing in the
garden. The poor children had now nowhere to play.
They tried to play on the road, but the
road was very dusty and full of hard stones,
and they did not like it. They used to
wander round the high wall when their lessons were
over and talk about the beautiful garden inside. undefined
