The selfish giant
by childbook.ai
Once upon a time, in a village, there was a giant who had a beautiful garden. The garden was filled with tall trees, colorful flowers, and soft, green grass. It was the most wonderful garden in the whole village.
Every afternoon, when the school bell rang, the local children would rush to the giant's garden. They loved playing among the trees, smelling the sweet flowers, and feeling the soft grass beneath their feet. The garden always brought them so much joy.
One day, the giant returned from a long journey. He saw the children playing in his garden and was furious. 'This is my garden!' he shouted. 'Get out!' The children were scared and quickly ran away, leaving the giant alone in his garden.
Without the children's laughter and play, the giant's garden became sad. The trees stopped swaying, the flowers lost their vibrant colors, and the grass turned dull and lifeless. The garden longed for the children to return and bring back its happiness.
As days turned into weeks, the giant realized his mistake. He missed the laughter of the children and the joy they brought to his garden. 'I was selfish,' the giant thought. 'I must apologize to the children and invite them back to my garden.'
The giant decided to make amends. He opened the gates of his garden and waited for the children to come. But the children were nowhere to be seen. The giant felt sad, thinking he had lost their friendship forever.
One day, as the giant sat alone in his garden, he noticed something magical happening. The trees began to bloom, the flowers regained their vibrant colors, and the grass became lush and green. Spring had returned to the garden.
Just as the giant admired the beauty of his garden, he heard laughter in the distance. It was the sound of children playing and running towards the garden. The giant's heart filled with joy as he saw his friends return. From that day on, the giant's garden was filled with laughter, happiness, and the everlasting friendship of the children.
