The forest was a perfect home for many plants and animals, but the little fir tree was not happy. It wanted to be tall like the other trees. The sun shone, and the tree’s leaves fluttered in the soft air. Some children played and laughed as they passed by. A child said, “What a pretty little tree!” But the fir tree remained unhappy. The tree grew a little bit each year, but even this didn’t make it happy. “Oh! Why can’t I just be tall like all the other trees?” it cried. The tree was so unhappy—it took no pleasure in the warm sunshine, the birds, or the rosy clouds that floated over it morning and evening. Years passed, and finally the tree grew very tall. Still, it complained, “Oh, I must keep growing tall and old! Nothing else matters in the world!” The sunshine was tired of hearing the fir tree’s cries. “Don’t wish away your youth,” it said. “Enjoy your bright life in the fresh air—it is worth more than you think!” But the fir tree didn’t listen. One winter, a few days before Christmas, a woodcutter came and cut down the unhappy fir tree. Two men carried it into a beautiful room. On Christmas Eve, the people in the house decorated the fir tree with colourful paper, stars and candles. “How beautiful the tree is!” everyone cheered. The fir tree was happy now. “What will happen next?” it thought. The next morning, some people carried the fir tree out of the room and threw it into a dark corner of the attic. Many days and nights went by, but no one came. “Oh no,” thought the tree, “this place is dark and lonely. I wish I were in the forest with the sunshine on my leaves and the birds singing around me. The forest was the perfect home for me. I didn’t realize how happy I was at the time!” 1. Why was the fir tree unhappy at first? A. Because it was too tall and old. B.

What happened to the fir tree after Christmas? A. It was kept in the beautiful room. B. It was cut into small pieces for firewood. C. It was thrown into a dark corner of the attic. D. It was planted back in the forest. 4. What is the main lesson of the story? A. We should always want more and never be satisfied. B. The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. C. We should enjoy what we have and not take happiness for granted. D.
