Oscar Wilde born on 16th October, 1854 in Ireland. He wrote many plays, poems and short stories. The Selfish Giant (《自私的巨人》) is one of the most famous short stories for children. There was a giant in the village. He had a garden with a lot of trees, flowers and birds. The children in the village liked playing in the garden. But the giant wanted to keep them out and built a big wall. Spring came, but the garden stayed quiet and cold with the snow. The giant was sad and lonely. Then the children made a hole (洞) in the wall. And the sun, flowers and birds came back to the garden where they played. This time the giant asked them to stay in the garden. It was great for him to play with these little friends.
Playing with these little friends was great.
