This story was pretty sweet, teach us to apreciate that the love for society is very important, and that the kids are little magical people in this planet, they make our lifes happier with their charm...

The selfish giant

I think this short story is interesting because it teaches us about some values that we need to have to be more friendly... we don´t have to be selfish, it is bad because some friends could keep distance and this isn´t good.
It´s necesary to learn to get along with others because it makes grow as human beings to maintain mental and psychological balance.

I´m really enjoyed with this story, I like it too much.!!!
