The Giant's Garden

A long time ago, a giant lived in a castle. The castle had
a big garden. There were lots of beautiful trees and flowers in the garden.
　　Some children lived near the castle. They liked the Giant's garden, but the Giant did not like people. 'You can't play here! It's my garden!' he shouted. The Giant was selfish.
One day, the Giant went to visit his brother. -The Giant's going
to be away for a long time,' said the children. 'Now we can play in his garden.' They were very happy
　　Every day they went to the beautiful garden and played. They climbed the trees. They swam in the river. They ran on the grass. They chased butterflies.
The children liked the garden in all the seasons of the year. In the spring the flowers and leaves grew.
In the summer the children rolled on the green grass.
　　In the autumn the leaves were orange and red. They fell from the trees and the children played with them.
In the winter the children played in the snow. They made
snowmen.
Different children came to the garden every year.

my garden!' he shouted. 'You can't play here. This garden is
MINE!'
　　'I'm going to build a brick wall,' he said. He built a wall round the garden.
　　The children were very sad. "Where can we play?' they said. Sometimes they played in the street, but it was hard and rough.
'The Giant's garden was better than the street," they said.

　　The Giant sat in his castle. 'It's nice and quiet now,' he thought. 'It's winter, but soon the spring will come. It will
be warm and sunny. The flowers will grow. My garden will be beautiful again.'
　　But the Spring did not want to come. The Spring said 'The Giant's too selfish. I like children. I'm not going to go to a sad, empty garden.'

'Is the spring never going to come?' asked the sad, cold Giant. Then one day he saw a little bird. 'The bird is singing in
my garden!' he said - 'Hooray! The trees and flowers are growing!'
He clapped his hands happily.
　　He looked again. 'The children have made a hole in the wall,' the Giant said. 'They've come back to my garden, and the sun has come with them!'
The Giant was not angry. He was delighted.
　　The Giant ran into the garden. He wanted to hug the children, but the children were afraid. They ran away and it became cold again.
　　'Don't run away,' said the Giant. 'I'm sorry. I was selfish. Please come and play in my garden.'
　　Only one little boy did not run away. He wanted to climb a tree, but he was too small.
'Don't cry, little boy. I'll help you,' said the Giant. He

put the little boy on a branch in the tree. The boy smiled.
'Thank you,' the little boy said.
'You're welcome,' said the Giant.
　　The boy kissed the Giant's cheek. Spring came into the garden again.

looked at his garden and smiled. Many children played in the garden.

in the garden. The Giant ran out of his castle. He picked up the little boy and kissed him.

Why are the Seasons Different?


　　This is the Earth. It is on a tilt. It goes round the Sun once a year. This gives us seasons.
　　In the summer, your part of the world is nearer to the Sun. Days are longer. It is warmer. In the winter, your part of the world is further away from the Sun. Days are shorter and nights are longer. It is colder.
　　The top half of the Earth is the Northern Hemisphere, and the bottom half of the Earth is the Southern Hemisphere.
　　The Equator is the line round the middle of the Earth. It is always hot at places on the Equator. When it is summer in the Southern Hemisphere, it is winter in the Northern Hemis here.

Puzzles
1. Read the sentences. Write the right words. a) The Earth goes round this.
b) Your part of the world is nearer the Sun in this season.
c) Days are shorter in this season. d) In the summer, days are
e) This is the line round the middle of the Earth.

Seasons in Different Countries


　　Japan is in the Northern Hemisphere. Spring is from March to May in Japan. In the spring, people wait to see the flowers on the cherry blossom trees. Then they have parties under the trees. This is the Hanami Festival.
　　The longest day in the Northern Hemisphere is on 21 or 22 June each year. This is the middle of summer. There is a flower festival for four days each June in California, USA.
　　There is a parade and people go to flower fields to look at the flowers. There is a Chinese festival in the autumn. It is the Mid-Autumn Festival. People wait to see a big round moon in the night sky. They eat mooncakes and they light lanterns.
　　Christmas is on 25 December. It is winter in the Northern Hemisphere. It is usually very cold. Sometimes it snows. But Christmas in Australia is in the summer. It is usually hot and sunny. Some people go to the beach on Christmas day!

Volcanoes

A volcano is a mountain. Under the mountain there is lava
in a hole in the rock. Lava is like rock but it is soft and very, very hot. Sometimes the volcano erupts and lava comes out of the top of the mountain. It is very noisy. The hot lava goes down the mountain.
This volcano is erupting. Smoke is coming out of the top. Some volcanoes do not erupt. They are called extinct
volcanoes.
　　The people on the island of Tristan da Cunha thought the volcano there was extinct. But one day in 1961 it erupted. Lava ran down into the sea. Not many people lived on the island. They all escaped -in a small boat. Later the volcano was quiet, so the people went back.
There is a volcano on the island of Krakatau in Indonesia. The people there did not know they lived on a volcano! In 1883 the volcano erupted. Some of the island sank into the sea. Some people escaped but many people were killed.
The volcano Vesuvius, in Italy, erupted in the year AD 79.
Rocks and dust flew up into the sky and lava ran down the mountain. Stones and lava fell on the city of Pompeii. The houses fell down and the people were killed.
Many years later people found the city of Pompeii. Under the
lava they found the houses and the people.
Today you can visit Pompeii. You can see how people lived in
AD 79. You can see some of the people in their houses.
　　In the United States (USA), there is an old story about a volcano. A man stole some fire from a volcano and ran away. The man was not careful. He tripped and fell, and the world caught fire.

Near the palace there was a big, dark forest.

But the prince was not happy. 'I want to go and see my father in the palace,' he said. 'I want to play with the children.' 　　Alan and the prince went to the palace. The people in the town saw them. They were amazed.
　　'Look at the prince!' they said. 'He was a fat prince, but now he's slim! And look at Alan! He was an angry man, but now he's happy!'
'I ate less food and I worked hard,' said Percy proudly, 'so
now I'm slim.'
'I want to be slim!' said Podd. 'I will eat less food, too.' The King was very happy to see his son. 'You can play with
the other children,' he said. 'And Alan, you can come and live
at the palace.'

People came to look at him and laugh. They called him the Elephant Man, but he was clever and he was a good man. Doctor Treves took him

Roses grow on bushes, trees and climbing plants.
　　They are many different colours and shapes, and they do not all have the same number of petals. They all have different names, too!
　　Roses are beautiful and some of them smell very nice, too. There are many stories and poems about roses, and many people like
to give roses for presents.
