The Special Christmas Tree

It was Christmas eve last year. The weather was icy. All the roads, houses, and streets were covered with snow. The wind was blowing hard. Everyone was shivering, and everyone’s teeth were chattering. The weather was harsh to an extent that everyone was compelled to wear jackets, shawls, and sweaters. It was so frosty that everyone’s windows and glasses were covered with fog. And amidst the street, there was a tree. Feeling brisk and icy. He was just wearing a pair of socks. That could only save him from feeling cold on his legs. He only had one dream, and that was to be at Christmas parties. Because no one kept him for their parties. Because he had no decorations on him. And he was short to be called a Christmas tree.

The next night he was sitting idle, thinking of a way to get into parties. But suddenly there was a little girl who was carrying a packet of decorations. She passed that way. She saw the gloomy tree and asked, “Why are you here rather than at a party?”

The tree told the whole story. The girl felt bad for him and thought to help him. She started decorating the tree with chocolates, stockings, sprinkles, lights, stars, bells, a scarf, and a few other ornaments. The tree was elated and excited to see his new self and gave the girl a chocolate. Together they both went to a party. They were on cloud nine. They enjoyed a lot there. Then the tree thanked the girl. And the girl thanked the tree. And the girl thought to take the tree with her to her home permanently. This way an ordinary tree became a special Christmas tree forever.

The Helpful Bell

Last winter was hard and harsh. The weather was hard to survive. My friend Rohan and I always wore jackets, full pants, socks, and gloves. Our hands were blocked. The air was frigid. The wind was chilly and bitter. The sky was foggy. The windows were frosty. The sun rose but it didn’t give any warmth. No one was walking on the road. It was snowing outside so heavily that even 11 quilts will not protect anyone. After some time, everyone started approaching the campfire. After some time, it started raining heavily. It became colder. The temperature came down to minus 1 degree. The tap water became as cold as ice water. Everyone had to drink hot water to prevent freezing. The wind was blowing very hard. I was chattering.

Suddenly we heard a noise coming from the cupboard. Rohan quickly opened the cupboard. He saw a small bell. The bell was rusty because it was kept in the cupboard for a long time. So, Rohan thought to throw it in the dustbin. But as Rohan was about to throw the bell in the dustbin, the doorbell fell. It was loose. Then Rohan got an idea. Rohan nailed a nail and hammered it outside the door. We hung a ribbon on the nail and tied a knot around the small bell. We made sure that the knot will never open. So, whenever anyone comes, they would ring the bell. The weather was still nippy and harsh, though we found something to pass that cold winter night with the helpful bell.
