11/1/11 selfish giant

This short story is about a selfish giant who has a magnificent garden that kids like to play in. But because he is selfish he builds a giant wall to keep them out of his garden. Over time his garden seems to stay in winter weather because his flowers and trees feel bad for the children. But one day the children somehow get back into the garden and the plants blossom once again and the giant loses his selfishness. He encounters one particular child that brings him great joy but over time he never sees him again until he gets older. The boy comes back with holes on his hand and feet and tells the giant to come to his garden of paradise and the giant is found dead the next day under a tree. This implies that the boy is Jesus Christ and brought the giant to heaven because it was his time.
