These trees were all pine trees and had big pine cones which were perfect for house decorations. All the time people came to the forest to get trees for furniture in„ their houses. The person who owntd the forest, Jacob Malfa, was a nice old man. He hired people to go in and cut trees down, then he would sell them. In this forest, there lived a small tree. He was a very sad tree also. The reason for this is; he was so small nobody would ever take him as wood for building. He was sure of this because he knew people would rather have something tall and straight and thick than a small, skinny tree. All the big trees around the little tree were perfect for building so the grove was often invaded by humans. When this happened, Sentinel and Guardians, the two lookouts, • would sound the alarm and the trees would stop talking out loud and start whispering. I'm sure you've heard the trees whisper before. I hear them every time I go into the woods. People tell -you it's the wind in the leaves but I know better. In the little grove where Little Pine (the small tree) lived there were nine other trees. These were Sentinel, Guardiana (who I mentioned before), Rolwindla, Snowmantle, Bay Leaf, Long Bough, Rustle Leaf, Pine Bark and Bird Resp. Rolwindla was the leader. Snowmantle was named after his habit of catching snow on his branches. Bay, Leaf was. named after the color of her leaves. Long Bough was named after his long branches. Rustle Leaf was I would make the If I were an elf do you know what I'd do? I'd run through the woods and play with•you. And if I got tired, do you know what I'd do? I'd go back home and have a little snooze. If I were a reindeer do you know what I'd do? I'd fly through the sky and pull Santa's 'sleigh! ,And if I got tired, do you know what I'd do? I'd stop and make the other's pull, too. Cathy Sproul Clinton Public School If I Were An Elf If I were an elf, Do you know what I would do? I would cast a spell on me or you! If I were an elf, You would say, "Who are you?" 'I3ut 1 would reply, "How are you?" If I were an elf, I would be so neat And I would be a king, named after her habit of talking too much, making the rustling sound you and I hear. Pine Bark was named after the qualities of his bark and Bird Rest was named after the fact that the birds always rested in his branches. Little Pine was named after his size. Little Pine was also the oldest. Little Pine would watch as most of his friends were cut down and taken away. His best friend, Green Tree, had been cut down just the month before, and Little Pine was still very sad. But; he had just stayed put, year after, year. This year, Little Pine had hoped to be used for a table, chair or sofa, but no such luck came his way. Finally, it was Christmas Eve. All his friends had been cut down and he was once again lonely. Everyone was hanging up their stockings or jltmping in bed, thinking about Santa Claus. Little Pine was just getting sleepy when a shadow fell over him. There was a sleigh and nine reindeer just landing beside him. A short, fat man jumped out and stood beside eight' normal reindeer and one with a red glowing nose. "Hello Little Pine!" the fat man (who was Santa of course) said joyfully. "Uh, how did you know my name?" Little Pine asked. "I know everyone's name. Oh, by the way, I would like you to meet some of my friends. Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner, Blitzer and Rudolph. Say `Hello' guys." "Hello," they said. "Hi," replied Little Eine. "If you have nothing better to do, I was wondering if you would like to take a ride wahine in my sleigh," Santa commented. others pull too But I would notbe a Thing! IfIwere anelf, ., I would dance all around, AndI would have A little crown. If I were an elf, You would ask me, "How old are you?" But I would reply, "I'm dirty and my wife's dirty two!"

"Sure! Are you going to use me tor furniture?" Little Pine asked eagerly. "No. Actually, I was planning to use you for an outdoor lamp. My elves are too tired to make one so I want you for one. You will be full of lights and decorations. Also, you're just the right size for me." +r.,, "Oh boy! Let's go now!" Little Pine exclaimed. "All right, jump in." Surprisingly enough, Little Pine found he could move. He jumped into the sleigh and utf they flew. When they reached the North Pole, Little Pine was once again planted. Then Mrs. Claus, Santa and many elves came and brought candles, colored balls, strands of colored ice (tinsel), and a very large star at the top that Santa had plucked out of the sky. They decorated the tree. It was a beautiful sight with the candles, colors, and the star shining on top. Santa put it right out in front of his house. So now you see, this is the story of how Little Pine became the most famous tree of all. He became the first Christmas Tree!
