the Giant garden. It was a lovely garden with soft grass and beautiful
flowers. It had twelve peach trees that flourish with pink and pearl
flowers in spring season turn into rich fruits in the autumn. The
children listened to the songs of various birds and thus lived in
ecstasy.

Their enjoyment had ended with the arrival of the Giant. Who was
away for last seven years to a friend’s house. He was infuriated when
he saw children playing in his garden. He started shouting and built a
high wall around it. He put up a notice that trespassing from his
property is prohibited.

play because if they play on the road, there was a lot of dust and
stones. They were very sad and depressed.
