Commonplace Quote - "The Selfish Giant"

This quote comes from Oscar Wilde's, "The Selfish Giant". "'It is your garden now, little children,' said the Giant and he took a great axe and knocked down the wall. And when the people were going to market at twelve o'clock they found the Giant playing with the children in the most beautiful garden they had ever seen."

This quote shows the transformative power of generosity and love.The Giant goes from being selfish and lonely to generous and happy. This quote suggests the Wilde is appealing the audience asking them to be more generous with their possessions and in turn they will be truly happy.
