The Giant’s Garden : There was a garden which belonged to a giant. It was a large and beautiful garden. It has a green meadow. In the spring season the flowers are blossomed. In the autumn the trees bore rich fruits. Every day the children played in the garden and felt happy. Giant’s Prevention : After staying seven years with his friend, the giant came to his garden. He saw the children playing in the garden. He was very angry. So he built a high wall around the garden and a notice was pasted as “TRESS ERS WILL BE PROSECUTED”. The children were felt sad. They did not come there The garden was also lost its beauty. The giant wondered why spring vanished in the garden. Giant becoming kindness: One morning the giant saw the children creeping through a hole in the garden. They were sitting on the branches of the tree. In a corner of a garden a little boy was too short to climb the tree. He was crying bitterly. Though the tree was bent, the boy could not climb as he was tiny. This scene changed the heart of the giant. So the giant went and helped him for climbing. The boy was happy and kissed the giant. The giant’s heart turned to grace. The giant knocked down the wall and removed the notice board. The Selfishness: The giant returned after seven years. He saw the children in his garden and got angry. Being selfish, he built a big wall around his garden. The children had no other place to play. They became very sad. Nature’s Anger: Nature was angry on the selfish activity of the giant. So, it wanted to punish the giant. Hence, everywhere there was spring. But in the giant’s garden there was only winter. The Spring’s Return: One day some children went inside the garden through a hole. They started to play. One little boy was unable to climb on a tree. The giant helped him. Nature was happy. The spring came back to the giant’s garden. The selfish giant understood its mistake. He removed the wall. Conclusion: The giant became old and feeble. The little boy came again. He asked him to come to his garden. As the giant became unselfish, the God allowed him in his garden, the paradise. Prepared by Sathish kumar .C M.Sc , BL.. Shree Buddha Institute
