The Selfish Giant by Oscar Wilde illustrated by S. Saelig Gallagher*

A giant, who has been visiting his ogre friend,  has a beautiful garden where children love to play.  When he returns and sees the children in HIS garden, he builds a high wall to prevent the children from imposing on him.  As a result, winter never leaves.  Then something occurs that changes the giant's heart .. . changes it for eternity.
*Highly recommend.
Strategies: inferring, cause/effect
