The Selfish Giant (fairy tale)

"The Selfish Giant" by Oscar Wilde is a moral allegory about a giant who owns a beautiful garden but refuses to share it, blocking children's access. His selfishness leads to perpetual winter, harming the garden's harmony. When he finally welcomes children back, the seasons return to normal, and love and kindness flourish. The story highlights themes of selfishness versus generosity, illustrating that sharing and compassion bring happiness and renewal, not only to others but also to oneself. It underscores the idea that true joy comes from kindness and selflessness.
