Read by Natasha. Duration 14.12. Text by Oscar Wilde.
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.
“What are you doing here?” he cried in a very gruff voice, and the children ran away.
“My own garden is my own garden,” said the Giant; “any one can understand that, and I will allow nobody to play in it but myself.” So he built a high wall all round it, and put up a notice-board.
TRESPASSERS
WILL BE
PROSECUTED
He was a very selfish Giant.
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. “How happy we were there,” they said to each other.
Then the Spring came, and all over the country there were little blossoms and little birds. Only in the garden of the Selfish Giant it was still winter. The birds did not care to sing in it as there were no children, and the trees forgot to blossom. Once a beautiful flower put its head out from the grass, but when it saw the notice-board it was so sorry for the children that it slipped back into the ground again, and went off to sleep. The only people who were pleased were the Snow and the Frost. “Spring has forgotten this garden,” they cried, “so we will live here all the year round.” The Snow covered up the grass with her great white cloak, and the Frost painted all the trees silver. Then they invited the North Wind to stay with them, and he came. He was wrapped in furs, and he roared all day about the garden, and blew the chimney-pots down. “This is a delightful spot,” he said, “we must ask the Hail on a visit.” So the Hail came. Every day for three hours he rattled on the roof of the castle till he broke most of the slates, and then he ran round and round the garden as fast as he could go. He was dressed in grey, and his breath was like ice.
“I cannot understand why the Spring is so late in coming,” said the Selfish Giant, as he sat at the window and looked out at his cold white garden; “I hope there will be a change in the weather.”
But the Spring never came, nor the Summer. The Autumn gave golden fruit to every garden, but to the Giant’s garden she gave none. “He is too selfish,” she said. So it was always Winter there, and the North Wind, and the Hail, and the Frost, and the Snow danced about through the trees.
One morning the Giant was lying awake in bed when he heard some lovely music. It sounded so sweet to his ears that he thought it must be the King’s musicians passing by. It was really only a little linnet singing outside his window, but it was so long since he had heard a bird sing in his garden that it seemed to him to be the most beautiful music in the world. Then the Hail stopped dancing over his head, and the North Wind ceased roaring, and a delicious perfume came to him through the open casement. “I believe the Spring has come at last,” said the Giant; and he jumped out of bed and looked out.
What did he see?
He saw a most wonderful sight. Through a little hole in the wall the children had crept in, and they were sitting in the branches of the trees. In every tree that he could see there was a little child. And the trees were so glad to have the children back again that they had covered themselves with blossoms, and were waving their arms gently above the children’s heads. The birds were flying about and twittering with delight, and the flowers were looking up through the green grass and laughing. It was a lovely scene, only in one corner it was still winter. It was the farthest corner of the garden, and in it was standing a little boy. He was so small that he could not reach up to the branches of the tree, and he was wandering all round it, crying bitterly. The poor tree was still quite covered with frost and snow, and the North Wind was blowing and roaring above it. “Climb up! little boy,” said the Tree, and it bent its branches down as low as it could; but the boy was too tiny.
And the Giant’s heart melted as he looked out. “How selfish I have been!” he said; “now I know why the Spring would not come here. I will put that poor little boy on the top of the tree, and then I will knock down the wall, and my garden shall be the children’s playground for ever and ever.” He was really very sorry for what he had done.
So he crept downstairs and opened the front door quite softly, and 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. And the Giant stole up behind him and took him gently in his hand, and put him up into the tree. And the tree broke at once into blossom, and the birds came and sang on it, and the little boy stretched out his two arms and flung them round the Giant’s neck, and kissed him. And the other children, when they saw that the Giant was not wicked any longer, came running back, and with them came the Spring. “It is your garden now, little children,” said the Giant, and he took a great axe and knocked down the wall. And when the people were going to market at twelve o’clock they found the Giant playing with the children in the most beautiful garden they had ever seen.
All day long they played, and in the evening they came to the Giant to bid him good-bye.
“But where is your little companion?” he said: “the boy I put into the tree.”
“We don’t know,” answered the children; “he has gone away.”
“You must tell him to be sure and come here to-morrow,” said the Giant. But the children said that they did not know where he lived, and had never seen him before; and the Giant felt very sad.
Every afternoon, when school was over, the children came and played with the Giant. But the little boy whom the Giant loved was never seen again. The Giant was very kind to all the children, yet he longed for his first little friend, and often spoke of him. “How I would like to see him!” he used to say.
Years went over, and the Giant grew very old and feeble. He could not play about any more, so he sat in a huge armchair, and watched the children at their games, and admired his garden. “I have many beautiful flowers,” he said; “but the children are the most beautiful flowers of all.”
One winter morning he looked out of his window as he was dressing. He did not hate the Winter now, for he knew that it was merely the Spring asleep, and that the flowers were resting.
Suddenly he rubbed his eyes in wonder, and looked and looked. It certainly was a marvelous sight. In the farthest corner of the garden was a tree quite covered with lovely white blossoms. Its branches were all golden, and silver fruit hung down from them, and underneath it stood the little boy he had loved.
Downstairs ran the Giant in great joy, and out into the garden. He hastened across the grass, and came near to the child. And when he came quite close his face grew red with anger, and he said, “Who hath dared to wound thee?” For on the palms of the child’s hands were the prints of two nails, and the prints of two nails were on the little feet.
“Who hath dared to wound thee?” cried the Giant; “tell me, that I may take my big sword and slay him.”
“Nay!” answered the child; “but these are the wounds of Love.”
“Who art thou?” said the Giant, and a strange awe fell on him, and he knelt before the little child.
And the child smiled on the Giant, and said to him, “You let me play once in your garden, to-day you shall come with me to my garden, which is Paradise.”
And when the children ran in that afternoon, they found the Giant lying dead under the tree, all covered with white blossoms.
Wilde was known for his sparkling and naughty wit, but his children's stories have a poignant tone and Christian themes.
I realy like this kind of story. why can’t I download part 2 of sleeping beauty? can you take some animaton story here? thank you for everything.

Hello
The Selfish Giant is one of Oscar Wild’s saddest tales. We feel moved by his character because he finds a way to show compassion to the young boy who plays in his garden. It is a story we can relate to whether we are very old or very young.

And I came to this site to check out other stories to teach other children in other grades.
I remember crying when I read this story 40 years ago..and I’am still moved to tears now!!!!
This is a very lovely story, despite that! I’m the drama queen and I’m in student council!

I heard this story when i was a kid…..and this time it made me cry
Hello
Thank you for your comment
The Selfish Giant like many Oscar Wilde tales, both happy and sad at the same time. The garden captures the spirit of the young children who play there. And where the giant meets the young boy, who is sad for it is always winter there.
Thank for listening

I enjoyed the story. It shows how one person’s need can change another person’s life. The spiritual content also blessed me. Very poignant!
I think this story is really useful for those who are learning English as a second language, besides it has some mistakes, it doesn’t affect the fact it’s an interesting and also useful material to learn pronunciation and lots of new words at home while they’re not having grammar lessons.
I like the story because it is Funny
DEAR STORY WRITER,
WHY DID YOU WRITE THIS STORY SO
SAD?????????????
I didn’t know oscar wilde wrote a fairy tale though I major in English literature. This story is beautiful and a bit sad. Anyway, I’m glad to find this website because it is good to study English, especially British accent! I always think British English is very awesome.
The End Was Too Sad

Dear Novelist,
I think the story is intersting,but needs some improvments. It has couple of mistakes that need to be correct.At the end the story is boring and needs some exagerations!
Your reader,
Fatheya
the story is extremly amzing and intersting.
i like this story though i an already 11 yars old.the story will be enjoable for children younger than me too.addition:CCCCCCCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
Every afternoon, on their way home from school, the children
went and played in the Giant’ s garden.

“It was a large lovely garden,????”

Dear Allison, The giant dies because he is old, but he does go to heaven.

The Little Child in the story must be Jesus, The Son of God. I liked the story very much. It teaches us to care, to forgive, to love and to believe. Blessings to all who read the story and liked it.
Princess Emma, the Boy and the Sword sounds like the King Arthur Legend and we will be doing that one day.
Dear Bertie, have you publish “The Boy and the Sword”?
Like.. the strongest man can’t pull the sword which is stuck in stone… and then… the weakest boy pull easily the sword out of heavy stone… he becomes king…
Is that story u remember?
Thank you for this a wonderful, anyway, It’s satifying conclusion. thank you again Natasha and wish you the best.
Love this story!!

I don’t think that’s going to happen. Nice thought, though.
Michelle^v^
P.S. My name is Michelle, not Mitchelle!
Emma replied: I was just put ur wrong name because of ACCIDENT… I heard you are Bertie’s loyal fan, is that right?
—————————————————-
Michelle said: P.P.S. Considering that, why are you ‘princess’ Emma?
Emma replied: I just want to put princess on my name whatever i want. Why don’t you want to put “Queen” on your name?? AND why don’t you see other person that put “Prince” on Percy’s name???
—————————————————-
Michelle said: P.P.P.S. I really think that’Princess Emma’ is a dumb name! It sounds snooty!
Emma replied: BE CALM, MICHELLE. STOP DO RUDE STUFFS ON ME…
I never squabble to Michelle. She’s fault first… She is first person who is really mean in storynory that i hear EVER… -.-
——————————————————
-sigh- i answered Michelle’s quotes…
Soo…. Do you forgive me, Michelle?
Princess Emma~
Dear Emma and Michelle, please no squabbling here. But thank you both for your many and energetic comments !

Hi Michelle, great minds think alike
And I’ve acted in every school play!!!!
Wow, Bertie. It’s a miracle. I was practicing my key skills. I was typing the selfish giant. Then I decided to drop by in storynory, to listen to the new story. And it was the same story I had been practicing my key skills with!!
