But in one corner, a small boy could not again.The trees were 4 reach the5 branches of the tree. The Giant felt sorry for what he did. He put the boy in the tree and knocked down the wall. Spring came back, and the garden was 6 once more.
The Giant was no longer7 .He played with the children every day, but the little boy never came back. Many years passed, and the Giant grew very old and weak.

Now, you will come with me to Paradise."
That afternoon, the children found the Giant 9 under the tree ,surrounded by white flowers . They 10 he was now in Heaven, happy and free from all sorrow.
