THE LITTLE FIR TREE

Shetty the magician was returning home,

whenall of a sudden itbegan to rain.

Itrained heavily.

Shettylooked around forshelter and saw a prettylittle fir tree.

He rantowards it as fast as hecould.

Soon the rainstopped.

Shetty washappy, that he didnot get wet.

“Thank you,you have beenkind to me.

I wouldlike to reward you.

Ask for four wishesand I will grantthem,” said themagician.

The sad fir tree had leaves likeneedles and no birds ever madetheir nests on it.

So it said, “Iwish I had green leaves likemy other friends.”

Next morning, its wish wasgranted.

Soon a goat camealong and ate all the greenleaves.

“Oh! dear,” said the firtree.

“I wish I had gold leaves asgoats do not eat gold leaves.”

When the little fir tree woke up the nextmorning it was surprised to see gold leaves.

“How happy I am!” it said.

A man came along and stole thegold leaves.

“I wish I had glassleaves instead.

Men donot steal glass leaves.”

The next day itsglass leaves shone inthe bright sun.

“Howhappy I am!” it said.

At night the windblew whoo...oo...oo. Allthe glass leaves broke.

“Oh dear!” said the fir tree.

I likemy old needle-like leaves best, forgoats do not eat them.

No man can steal them.

The wind will do them noharm.”

The treewent to sleep.

When it wokeup the nextmorning it hadall its needlesback again.

“Oh! I neverwas so happy,”said the littlefir tree.
