The Selfish Giant

00:00:15 THE SELFISH GIANT from story by Oscar Wilde

00:01:51 And in the autumn bore rich fruit.

00:02:59 Because the conversation with him was limited.

00:04:44 "And I will allow nobody to play in it."

00:08:13 They used to wander round the high walls when their lessons were over

00:08:47 Once, a beautiful flower put its head up from the grass.

00:10:35 Then, they invited the North Wind to stay with them.

00:12:37 So he broke most of the slates.

00:13:40 But the Spring never came, nor the Summer.

00:14:46 when he heard some lovely music.

00:15:20 "I believe the Spring has come at last!" said the Giant.

00:15:50 that they had covered themselves with blossoms

00:16:19 He was so small that he could not reach up to the branches of the tree.

00:16:56 "Now I know why the spring would not come here!"

00:17:45 and all ran away.

00:18:26 and the birds came and sang on it.

00:19:36 they found the Giant playing with the children in the most beautiful garden they have seen.

00:20:15 But the children said they didn't know where he lived.

00:20:53 "How I would like to see him!"

00:23:37 "but the children are the most beautiful flowers of all."

00:24:08 In the farthest corner of the garden

00:24:39 And when he came quite close

00:25:19 "Nay!" answered the child; "but these are the wounds of Love."
