The Selfish Giant
The giant has got a lovely garden. The children want to
play in the garden, but the giant was selfish. 'It's my
garden," he says. "I don't want children here." He builds
a wall around the garden. In the spring there are no
flowers or birds in the giant's garden. It is winter all year.
The giant isn't happy. Then one day, the children find
the hole in the wall. They go on and play. The giant
hears the children in the garden. There are birds and
flowers, too. The giant is happy because it is spring
again. "This is your garden now, children,' he says. The
children are happy and the giant is not selfish now.

Our neighbour told us this story. It was many years ago. He had left school and tried to go to medical univercity, but he failed. He was really sad, but then he got a job the paramedic. Because his sister worked there. One day the call arrived on the night duty. Someone got hupertensive crisis. We went on the dark road. It was extremely rainy. Strange muddy figure stand near the cemetry. Pale young woman was waving hand in the light of headlights. It seemed strange to us and we went out of the car. Shivering woman came closer and started begging us to save little child in the village nearby. She was unusial cold. Not like a normal human. We were very scared and we wanted to run away. Nevertheless we regretted her and went to that willage. She left at the cemetry, at her home as she said. At this place he meeted a man with ill girl. He said that he did not calling them. We brought girl to hospital. She had pneumonia. He asked, who had called them. And then we saw portrait with black ribbon of that strange woman.We felt sick. Man said us that this woman died seven days ago. There was no woman on the road when we went home. But I looked back. She was standing and watching us.
