O Christmas Tree By: Everly
There once was a tree yard. In it were lots of trees that were ready to be taken into someone’s home. They had all been prepping hard, making sure that their pine was on right, that they smelled good, and some had even decorated themselves with ornaments!
“I’m totally going to be chosen first.” One of the trees said. This tree had ornaments, a star, lights, and lots of things covering his piney body.
“What makes you say that?” One of the other trees asked.
“Because I am the most beautiful tree in the world.” It said.
The other trees sighed, “Maybe we should’ve put ornaments on ourselves as well.”
“Too bad, guess you won’t be picked then.” The decorated tree said with a laugh.
When the day finally came, the trees stood up straight, made sure they looked right, and waited while the people flocked in.
The people saw lots of pretty trees, but while they were looking, they heard the decorated tree say, “See, they’re already looking at my beautiful decorations, they will definitely pick me first.”
All the people were shocked to hear this tree say such a thing, let along speak, and they looked at the other trees instead.
One by one, trees were slowly picked, and none of those trees were the decorated tree. The tree was left in the tree lot alone, because of how rude he had been, no one had looked at his decorations, but had instead looked at his heart.
You shouldn’t pick people for their looks, but for their heart.
