A Christmas bedtime story for my girls.
*this was made in 2006, before Christmas.
page.1
In Hawaii, there was a palm tree really want to be a Christmas tree. The birds laughed at him, the ocean laughed at him and even the sun laughed at him.

The palm tree made up his mind to seek for his dream. He took a boat, was heading north.
page.3
Finally, The palm tree arrived a beautiful continent which covered with white snow. He met a fir tree and told about his dream. “Follow me, I am just on my way to be a Christmas tree.” the fir tree said.
page.4
The palm tree followed the fir tree to a Christmas market in a small town, and started to wait to be bought by somebody.
page.5
Time went by, Christmas season was near by. Most of the fir trees had been brought home, but not the palm tree. No one wanted to have the palm tree to be their Christmas tree. Palm tree still stood there and waited for a hope.
page.6
It was Christmas Eve. The palm tree was the only one tree left in the market. A father and a daughter passed by. They were the most needy family in the town. “Can we have a Christmas tree this year, daddy?” said the daughter. “Sorry, sweety. We might not have enough money for a Christmas tree. “Oh! That one is free. Is that ok?” said the father. “Yes!” said the daughter.

The daughter hang a dirty old worn out sock on the palm tree to make him more like a Christmas tree. “Thank you, daddy!” said the daughter. “Don’t say that, I’v never given you a nice warm Christmas.” answered the father. “But you always take care of me and stay by my side, don’t you?” the daughter smiled back.

At the late snowing night, the father and the daughter laid their back on their Christmas tree and fell into a deep sleep. A miracle happened, Santa Claus came and gave Christmas presents to this poor little family.

“Here is a present for you too.” said the Santa to the palm tree. “This will make you a real Christmas tree!” The Santa hung a shining little star on Palm tree before he left.

Finally, the palm tree couldn’t bear the cold winter and withered. The daughter woke up on Christmas morning and saw withered Palm tree. She held Palm tree tight gratefully and spoke to him. “You are the best Christmas tree in the world.”
