The Greedy Giant

Once there lived a greedy giant

He lived in a big house

with a big beautiful garden

One day

the greedy giant went away

for a very long time

Children in his town

began to play in his garden

Wow

This is the best garden ever

It sure is

The children loved to play

in the garden

7 years later

the greedy giant

came back home

The greedy giant

saw the children playing

in his garden

Hummph

Get out you little monsters

The greedy giant

threw the children

out of his garden

And never ever come back again

The greedy giant

closed the garden for good

The children now had to play

in the streets

The streets were full

of dust and people

This is no fun

There’s no space to run

or play games Phooey

The children did not like playing

in the streets at all

Spring came with soft breezes

Flowers bloomed

all over the town

But spring did not visit

the greedy giant’s garden

Nor did the warm summer

nor the cool autumn

Brrrrrrr

Only the cold

and freezing winter stayed

in the greedy giant’s garden

One early morning

the greedy giant

heard birds singing

He also smelled

sweet flower scents in the air

He got out of his bed

to look outside

Oh

The greedy giant

looked out to his garden

And there

he found the town’s children

He also found spring

in his garden

But

one spot was still covered

with winter

There stood a frozen tree

and a little boy under the tree

The little boy

could not climb the tree

Ah

now I know why spring never

came to my garden

I was too selfish and too greedy

The greedy giant felt ashamed

The greedy giant

went into his garden

Hey Run It’s the giant

The children ran away

Soon the garden

became winter again

But the little boy

under the frozen tree

did not move

The giant went and put the boy

on top of the tree

Twirp Twirp

Birds began singing

and spring came back

to the garden

Thank you sir

The little boy smiled

and gave a kiss to the giant

Children began to play

in the garden again

Spring came back to the garden

Children you can play here

any time you want

Hooray Hooray

The children were so happy

But the giant was curious

Where is the little boy

that I put on the tree

The giant missed the little boy

and wanted to see him again

The giant grew old

Children are so beautiful

Thought the giant

The giant sat in his chair

and watched the children play

But the giant still missed

the little boy

One winter morning

the giant was surprised

Oh What’s that

One tree in the garden was

in full bloom

And under the tree

was the little boy

The little boy

that the giant missed so much

The giant ran to see the boy

But what was this

The little boy’s hands

had nail marks on them

Who did this to you

my little child

The giant became angry

Don’t be angry sir

They are marks of love

The giant’s heart began

to beat faster

He knelt in front of the child

Who are you

The little boy replied

You let me play

in your garden

So now I want to invite you

to my garden

That day children came to play

in the giant’s garden again

The giant lay

under the blossomed tree

with a big smile

He was no longer breathing

But he looked happy

Why

Because he was now

with his little friend

in a much more beautiful garden
