The Selfish Giant is a famous story in Unit 2. The giant has a large garden with beautiful flowers and trees. But he is selfish and doesn’t let children play in it. He builds a high wall around the garden, and the children have no place to play.
Soon, the garden becomes cold and snowy all year. The giant is sad because he misses the lively flowers and birds. One day, he finds children playing in the garden through a hole in the wall. At that moment, spring comes back!
The giant realizes his mistake. He knocks down the wall and lets the children play freely. From then on, the garden is always lively, and the giant gets along well with the children.

Dear Peter,
I’m glad to tell you about The Selfish Giant. The giant is selfish at first and builds a wall to stop children playing in his garden. But the garden becomes cold until children come back. He learns to share and knocks down the wall.
The story tells me sharing brings happiness. In life, I often share my books with neighbours’ kids. We get along well, and it makes me happy!
What do you think of the story
Yours,
Li Hua
