The Discontented Pine Tree

In olden times when the wishing still helped,
there was a dense forest that contained trees that were sky-high,
with clustered green leaves.
Among them, there was a little pine,
in the center forest,
who was always discontent,
despite its ability to be evergreen.
I’m the shortest tree in this entire forest,
and I got ugly thin needles instead of leaves.
A creation of God, couldn’t get any worse.
Said the discontented little pine to himself.
And, there appeared a wish-granting fairy, and
I had been watching you for a while,
and I have found that you are discontent every time.
Yes, fairy, I am.
And, I couldn’t help it.
Okay, I’ll grant you a wish.
Ask me something that would make you
happy.
Pine tree thought for a while,
Ah, I wish I could get leaves made up of gold
so that I shall be the most precious tree, of all.
Alright,
so shall you receive.
Said the fairy and chanted the magic words
The little pine got its golden leaves, and the fairy vanished.
I’m so happy that I am the precious tree in the entire forest.
Later that day, there came a woodsman,
and he stopped by the little pine.
Holy Moly!!!
Is this for real?
oh!
The woodsman cut down every single
leaf, and fled,
leaving the little pine bare to the breeze.
The little pine started crying,
and the fairy appeared again.
Don’t worry little pine,
let me grant you anything
that would make you feel content.
The little pine thought for a while again,
and I want leaves made up of glasses
so that nobody would take that away.
As you wish, my little pine.
The fairy again chanted the magic words
and vanished.
The little pine on getting leaves made up of glasses got very excited.
I look attractive, like ever before.
On the same day,
Oh, God!!! My leaves they are all gone, again.
Cried the little pine.
Don’t worry you can still have one last wish, now.
I want clustered leaves,
just like the rest of the trees.
The fairy granted its wish and vanished again,
forever this time.
The little pine thought carefully this time
Not so late, a goat stopped by
The little pine regretted, all his mistake,
and cried for his needles back.
And, without showing up, the fairy
granted its wish,
and little pine got its needles again.
Months rolled by,
and it was the snowing winter season.
Every single tree in the forest has shredded their leaves,
due to the season change,
but the little pine stayed evergreen like always,
and was very content with being own
self this time.
Kids, what have we learned from the
story?
Little pine was always discontent
on being own self.
And, it had to go through a lot,
to understand how blessed he was.
So, kids,
always stay happy with what you have.
