It is such a sunny day and such I am so glad that the giant is away
and I can play here. I can roll down the grassy banks! There is
fruit on the apple and peach trees and I can hide under the pink
blossom and hear and talk to the happy birds singing.
(stops still to listen then continues to run and play)

What are you doing here? This is my garden, my very own
garden, I will not allow anyone to play in it, only me, do you
understand? Look at the sign, what does it say ‘Trespasses will be
Prosecuted!’ Now off you go!
(storms off)

Well, I will have to play out on the road again. What a selfish
giant not wanting to share with me, I can’t roll and play
as I did in the garden. It’s not much fun!

I cannot understand why the Spring is so late in coming to my
garden. Look everything is dark and brown, there is no sun, I
cannot hear the birds singing and there is no blossom or fruit on the
trees. I can’t look out of the window anymore it is too sad to see! I
will have a good long sleep and hope that the summer will come
soon.

(creeps back into the garden)
I haven't seen the giant for ages perhaps he has gone
away again. I’ll creep back into the garden. Oh look at
how brown and dull it is, what has happened? It looks so miserable.
Well at least I can climb the trees. (climbs trees)
Look the leaves are turning green. Look the sun is coming out and
the summer is coming, it’s magic!

(stretches and yawns)
Is that a guitar I hear strumming, I can’t believe what I can
see (peering through the window) thank goodness the summer has
come at last. Oh that child has crept back in, he/she is having such a
lovely time playing in the blossoms. The flowers are laughing on the
grassy banks, the sun is glorious, now I know why the Spring did
not come, I was too selfish and miserable! That child has
brought the happiness and summer to my garden again.
(goes out into the garden)

Aaargh! The giants returned, quick through the hole in the wall!

Oh no, he/she is running away, come back!! Oh look the winter has
come already, look at my cold, brown garden. (giant looks glum
and thoughtful then has a good idea) I have a good idea, I
want to share my garden and have friends again. If I make a
lovely picnic and put a picnic rug out on the cold, rainy
grass perhaps the child will come back.
(prepares the picnic, the child peeps through the fence and the trees.)

What he’s doing, why on earth would he put a picnic out on a
cold winters day? The rug looks comfy though, I can creep in
quietly and take a peep. (The child creeps in, sits down and takes a
look at the food) Sandwiches! Chocolate fingers! Strawberries!
Caramel cookies! My favourite! Delicious! Thank you Mr. Giant.

(nervously walks out and the garden turns to the summer)
I thought the summer would come if I was kind again. I will take
down this sign and you can come and play whenever you want
to. Bring your friends too!

Thank you Mr.Giant. You can be my bestest friend!
(The child and giant walk to the front with arms around each other)

And Autumn and winter never came again, summer reigned in
the beautiful garden and we both have a new friend to play with.
