Once there was a tree that stood in a field away from the other trees. It longed to be part of the forest—or part of anything at all. After many lonely years, its dream came true. And the little fir tree's life changed forever!

They put golden tinsel on his branches

And golden bells

And green icicles

And silver stars.

And soon—o shining wonder—the little fir tree was . . .

A Christmas tree
