The Giant's Garden

A long time ago, a giant lived in a castle. The castle had a big garden. There were lots of beautiful trees and flowers in the garden.

Some children lived near the castle. They liked the Giant's garden, but the Giant did not like people. 'You can't play here! It's my garden!' he shouted. The Giant was selfish.

One day, the Giant went to visit his brother. -The Giant's going to be away for a long time,' said the children. 'Now we can play in his garden.' They were very happy

Every day they went to the beautiful garden and played. They climbed the trees. They swam in the river. They ran on the grass. They chased butterflies.

The children liked the garden in all the seasons of the year. In the spring the flowers and leaves grew.

In the summer the children rolled on the green grass.

In the autumn the leaves were orange and red. They fell from the trees and the children played with them.

In the winter the children played in the snow. They made snowmen.

Different children came to the garden every year.
