North Star, and he beamed ap-

trees eyes had become so blinded
by his tears and his grief that he
could not see the big snow cloud
which for the moment was hover
ing over the forest and hiding the
North Star from his sight.
Suddenly he heard the voice of
his friend calling out cheeringly,
"Hello Little Tree, l heard you call

Looking up he saw his friend the
North Star slowly emerging from
behind the snow cloud and that he
was focusing his five pointed star
rays directly on him and his rocky
ledge home, bathing both the little
tree and his ledge in a beautiful
mellow Christmas white.

the little tree, "wha, wha, do you

A CHRISTMAS STORY
by Commander Ray W. Byrns, USN, Retired

The little tree was left all alone
forsaken and abandoned on a big
barren hillside. Where until today
countless trees had grown, all that
now remained was a sloping un.
kempt hillside of bald stumps. In
the valley below he could see the
cleaning camp fires of the Christ
mas Tree choppers, and could hear
the audible and excitable mur.
murings of the happy valley trees
who were impatiently, but joyously
awaiting tomorrow's choosing.
"Oh! Oh" he cried aloud. "H
l were only in the valley l might
still have a chance"
But his heart told him that this
could not be, and that no amount
of wiStful thinking could alter the
fact that he must remain forever

now that never would be chosen,
Although the choppers would re.

his fellow trees. He longed to be
tall and beautiful as they were and
to be clothed in their deep green,
so that he too might be chosen by
the Christmas Tree choppers at
Christmas Tree chopping time for
that great and exciting adventure
to which every tree in that forest
eagerly looked forward - the joy
of being taken by the choppers to

in amazement he saw that his
rusty green clothing had been chan
ged to beautiful white. The snow
cloud had given the little tree a
thick coating of "Christmasy
white" while he was fast asleep.
But strange as it may seem there
was very little snow on the hill
side and none in the valley below,
nor on the distant hills. AS far as
he could see all the trees in the
forest were still in green. The snow
cloud has passed them all by alone
h0noring the little tree and bring
ing to him the first of the newly
arrived snow birds.
The choppers were at work in
the valley below. The little tree
could hear the sound of their ring

at the wonderment of it all he
shook his head slowly and said
quite loudly. Eyes, they thought so
in spite of being little tree and
having only pasty rusty green clo-

And at the thought of himself he
began to laugh, and his laugh was
hearty and loud. Then becoming

of the snow from his branches he
stopped laughing and wistfully said,

In all that great forest of Christ

not have single tree friend. Not
a tree ever spoke kindly to him
or felt sorry for his plight nor of
fered encouragement in anyway.

But me little tree did have
friend. A friend that no one, except
the myriad of little stars in the
great Milky Way high up in the
heavens overheard knew about. A
friend to whom nightly - when all
the trees in the forest were fast
asleep and a great stiffness had
settled over the land - the little
tree turned to pouring out his long
ingS and disappointments. A friend
who cheered and comforted him
throughout his many cold and lone
ly nights spent in solitude on his
rocky ledge home - the kindly
North Star.
Then there came a night in the
little trees life - an unforgettable
night when the tang and smell of
Christmas time was in the air and
all the trees in the forest were re-

In this his greatest hour of lone

despairingly, "Oh North Star,

are you? Have you forsaken me
too?"
