"Coloro che hanno molto, spesso sono avidi," amava ripetere Oscar Wilde, autore di questa toccante novella, che narra la storia di un gigante che torna al suo castello dopo una lunga assenza e nel giardino trova i bambini del villaggio che giocano felici. Infastidito li scaccia e costruisce un muro per impedire loro di ritornare.
