The children had now nowhere to play. There were no gardens around and the roads were busy and crowded. After school they used to go round the high wall and talk about the beautiful garden inside. "How happy we were there!" they said to each other.
Then came the spring. And all over the country there were flowers and there were birds. Only in the garden of the Giant it was still winter. Here no birds were singing and no flowers blossoming. There were only snow and frost and north wind in it.
"I cannot understand why the spring is so late in coming," said the Giant. He was sitting at the window of his big castle and looking out at his cold, dry and lifeless garden. "I hope there will be a change in the weather."
But neither spring nor summer came to his garden
Meaning:
The children had now nowhere to play.
শিশুদের এখন আর খেলার কোনো জায়গা ছিল না।
There were no gardens around and the roads were busy and crowded.
আশেপাশে কোনো বাগান ছিল না এবং রাস্তাগুলো ব্যস্ত ও জনাকীর্ণ ছিল।
After school they used to go round the high wall and talk about the beautiful garden inside.
স্কুলের পর তারা উঁচু দেওয়ালের চারপাশে ঘুরতো এবং ভেতরের সুন্দর বাগান নিয়ে কথা বলতো।
"How happy we were there!" they said to each other.
"আমরা সেখানে কতই না সুখী ছিলাম!" তারা একে অপরের কাছে বলতো।
Then came the spring.
তারপর বসন্ত এলো।
And all over the country there were flowers and there were birds.
এবং সারা দেশে ফুল এবং পাখি ছিল।
Only in the garden of the Giant it was still winter.
কেবলমাত্র দৈত্যের বাগানে তখনও শীত ছিল।
Here no birds were singing and no flowers blossoming.

There were only snow and frost and north wind in it.
সেখানে কেবল বরফ, কুয়াশা এবং উত্তরের বাতাস ছিল।
"I cannot understand why the spring is so late in coming," said the Giant.
"আমি বুঝতে পারছি না কেন বসন্ত আসতে এত দেরি করছে," দৈত্যটি বলল।
He was sitting at the window of his big castle and looking out at his cold, dry and lifeless garden.
সে তার বড় দুর্গের জানালায় বসে তার ঠান্ডা, শুকনো ও প্রাণহীন বাগানের দিকে তাকিয়ে ছিল।
"I hope there will be a change in the weather."
"আমি আশা করি আবহাওয়ার পরিবর্তন হবে।"
But neither spring nor summer came to his garden.
কিন্তু বসন্ত কিংবা গ্রীষ্ম কোনোটিই তার বাগানে এলো না।
