Once upon a time there were three trees.
Each of them had grand plans and wanted to do great things.
Tree #1 wanted to do something mighty to be a treasure maybe a treasure chest.
Tree #2 wanted to be a mighty sailing ship.
Tree #3 wanted to be a mighty structure maybe a famous building.
Each tree became disappointed when they were chopped down and turned into different things.
Tree #1 was sad... he became a manger to feed animals.
Tree #2 was sad he was only merely a small fishing boat.
Tree #3 was the saddest of all he was only a pile of scrap wood.
All three tree's had grand plans for thier future but they were sad because they didn't realize thier own importance.
You see
tree #1 was the most famous manger in history after all because Jesus slept there.
tree#2 wasn't merely a fishing boat he was the boat that Jesus sailed in.
tree #3 became a symbol of Hope and Salvation
