                   D.   SUMMIRAZING: Put the following sentences in order to summarize the
                      story. Write the numbers from 1 to 8 to show the order. There is one
                      example has been done for you.



                            When the Giant discovers the children playing in his garden, he
                            angrily drives them out.
                            Meanwhile, Spring, Summer, and Autumn all refuse to appear, on
                            account of the Giant’s selfishness, and the Giant is left cold,
                            miserable, and confused


                            When the Giant  looks outside, he sees “a most wonderful
                            sight.” Spring has indeed returned to his garden—because the
                            children have also returned.

                    1       A group of children would play in the garden belonging to a giant
                            each day after school.
                             The children realize that the Giant now means well. They return to
                            the garden, bringing Spring with them. The Giant declares, “It is
                            your garden now, little children.”


                            When the children visit the Giant that afternoon, they find his body
                            lying beneath the tree, covered in its white blossoms.

                            Despondent, the children are forced to find another place to play.

                            The Giant’s heart melts, and he understands at once that his
                            selfishness is what kept Spring away.


                            When Spring arrives, the Giant’s garden remains trapped in Winter,
                            as the birds, the trees, the flowers feel sorry for the children, and
                            they refuse to appear while their little friends are absent.
