A WAY down In the country
~ where the holly berries grow
4 there lived a holly bush which
was very ambitious. So ambitious
was she that she resolved within her
heart to grow the most beautiful
holly berries that had ever been seen
or heard of.
Perhaps II try very hard" said
this holly berry bush to herself, II
can grow bigger berries and redder
berries than any holly bush has ever
before made. And then all the world
will come and see my work and
will be counted wonderful plant"
So she set about the business OF
growing the best she knew.
She painted her leaves with a
beautiful shining gloss; she stained
her berries a bright scarlet and
made them perfect. and large and
shining. Till at last, when the holly
season was at it's height. her leaves
and berries we're at least as beauti-
full as any that had ever grown.
And the holly bush, seeing her work
and knowing that 1t was good, was
very happy.
Now" she said to herself COM
placently, my work is done and it
is good Something wonderful will
happen to me, because l am the most
beautiful holly in the world"
And sure enough, something did
happen.
Traders came along through the
wood where the holly bush grew;
saw the handsome leaves and tho
flaming berries and they stripped
the bush of branches which they
sent north for the Christmas mar
kets.
Then, after the long journey shut
up in a box, customers came and
bought the holly branches and with
them decorated a great house for a
Christmas party. The little branches
were put around the walls and the
great branches were hung from the
ceiling In the center of the room.
And the holly branches, admirtng
themselves in the great mirrors, said
to themselves, This is what we were
