One of a series of 12 fun caches to celebrate 12 Days of Christmas Cachmas
on a family friendly walk around Kingston Bagpuise & Southmoor.
This is the story of a little fir tree who dreamt
of growing up so that he could go and be a
Christmas Tree amongst the Humans.
The other, older trees, knew more about life,
and they told him that being a tree with the
Humans wasn’t as good as all that. But the little
fir tree didn’t want to believe the older trees
and he didn’t have long to wait.
He was so pleased when one day some children
came with their parents to choose a fir tree to
decorate their living room. The children adored
him at first sight.
So he was dug up, then brought into the living
room, where he was hung with decorations.
After they had finished decorating him, the little
fir tree shone with a thousand lights.
Christmas was getting closer and everyone admired
the little Christmas Tree. The young fir tree
thought: “All the bigger fir trees were wrong”
and he lifted his branches even higher so people
could admire him better.
Up till January, he was the prince of the living
room; but then he started to lose his needles.
Now nobody looked at him, touched him, or even
bothered to gather up the tiny needles that fell.
Then, the whole family decided to put him down
into the cellar. The fir tree started to feel very
sad that he had even been chosen by the family.
After several days’ wait – it seemed never-ending
to him -, the little fir tree was replanted. He
was so happy to be back in this good old earth
that he’d missed so much during those endless
days when he was shut up in the cellar!! Suddenly
he understood that the family had left him in the
cold of the cellar to keep him healthy.
Each year, the family dug him up again to put him
back into the living room. He was very happy with
his new family. And yes, in the end the bigger
trees were wrong about something - some humans
are good after all...
