Long, long ago, there was a forest. In that forest was a pretty little fir tree. Apart from the fir tree, there were pine trees too. The fir tree wanted to be taller than the pine trees. After a few years, the fir tree was tall. One day, some woodcutters came to cut down all the old trees. The fir tree was scared. The tree was also curious to know as to what would become of the wood. Then, one day, the fir tree was cut and taken into a big house. It was decorated with many attractive things. The children danced around it, before opening their presents. A cheerful man then told them the story of Christ. It was the happiest evening in the life of the tree. The tree felt blessed that it was a part of such a big event. It felt lucky that it had been chosen to become a Christmas tree.
