The giant came back from his friend’s place after seven years. Seeing the children play in his garden, he angrily chased them away and built a high wall around the garden.

After the children stopped coming to the garden, the trees and flowers were so sad that they lost their beauty and were covered with snow and frost. No birds came to sing there. Spring was everywhere but in the giant’s garden it was still winter.

The other characters are:

-Green Linnet:  who was sitting in a willow tree hard by, and had overheard the conversation between the Water-rat and the Duck. He's the narrator of the story.

One day a water-rat met a duck which was trying to teach how to swim to her little ducklings. They started to talk about what was the friendship for him, so a Linnet told them that story.

This story tells us what’s the real friendship, but here is described a wrong friendship between Hans, a little, simply, honest and good worker man who has a best friend: the Miller. He is a good orator, but he doesn’t do anything which is concrete, he don’t do anything but he use the other people specially with the poor Hans. Hans believed at all the Miller told him: so he neglected himself and their job because was busy to do what the Miller was asking him.

When during the terrible winter the Miller staid at home, keeping saying that it was the right thing to do, while the poor Hans was suffering the cold and the hungry. When the spring arrived the Miller offered him his wheelbarrow, so with this excuse asked him a lot of favours. Slowly Hans became more and more tired because he was working free to the Miller.

At the end, the Miller asked him another favour, it was a terrible night with a frightening storm and the Miller’s son was ill, he needed a doctor. Hans went out to call the doctor, but he never returned back: the tiredness killed him. But the story wasn’t useful for the water-rat, so he went away. He didn’t understand the moral.
