-
-<p><span class="smcap">Once</span> upon a time the animals
-decided to have a Christmas tree,
-and this was how it came about.
-The swifts and the swallows in
-the chimneys in the country houses,
-awakened from their sleep by joy
-and laughter, had stolen down
-and peeped in upon scenes of
-happiness, the centre of which was
-always an evergreen tree covered<span class="pagenum" id="Page_4">[4]</span>
-with wonderful fruit, bright balls
-of many colors, and sparkling
-threads of gold and silver, lying
-like beautiful frost-work among the
-green fir needles. A sweet, fairy-like
-figure of a Christ-Child or
-an angel rested high among the
-branches, and underneath the tree
-were dolls and sleds and skates
-and drums and toys of every sort,
-and furs and gloves and tippets,
-ribbons and handkerchiefs, and
-all the things that boys and girls
-need and like; and all about this
-tree were gathered always little
-children with faces oh! so full
-of wonderment and expectation,<span class="pagenum" id="Page_5">[5]</span>
-changing to radiant, sparkling
-merriment as toys and candies
-were taken off the tree or from
-underneath its boughs and distributed
-among them.</p>
-
-<p>The swifts and the swallows told
-their feathered friends all about it,
-and they told others, both birds
-and animals, until at last it began
-to be rumored through all the
-animal world that on one day in
-the year the children of men were
-made wonderfully happy by
-means of some sort of a festival
-which they held about a fir-tree
-from the forest. Now, of course
-the tame animals and the house<span class="pagenum" id="Page_6">[6]</span>
-animals, the dogs and the cats and
-the mice, knew something more
-about this festival. But then, they
-did not exchange visits with the
-wild animals, because they felt
-themselves above them. They
-were always trying to be like men
-and women, you know, putting on
-airs and pretending to know everything;
-but after all they were
-animals and could not help making
-friendships now and then with the
-wild creatures, especially when the
-men and women were not there.
-And when they were asked about
-the Christmas tree, they told still
-more wonderful stories than the<span class="pagenum" id="Page_7">[7]</span>
-swifts and the swallows from the
-chimneys had told, for some of
-them had taken part in these
-festivals, and some had even received
-presents from the tree, just
-like the children. They said that
-the tree was called a Christmas
-tree, because that strange fruit
-and that wonderful frosting came
-on it only in the Christmas time,
-and that the Christmas time was
-the time when men and women and
-little children, too, were always
-kind and good and loving and gave
-things to one another; and they
-said, moreover, that on the Christmas
-tree grew the things which<span class="pagenum" id="Page_8">[8]</span>
-everyone wanted and which would
-make them happy, and that it was
-so, because in the Christmas time
-everyone was trying to make everyone
-else happy and to think of
-what other people would like.
-This they said was what they had
-seen and heard told about Christmas
-trees. They did not quite
-understand why it was so but they
-knew that the Christmas tree,
-when rightly made, brought the
-Christmas spirit, and they had
-heard men say that the Christmas
-spirit was the great thing, and that
-that was what made everyone
-happy.</p>
-
-
-
-<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_9">[9]</span>Well, the long and the short of it
-was that the animals talked of it
-in their dens and on their roosts,
-in the fields and in the forests, wild
-beasts and tame alike&mdash;the cows
-and horses in their stalls, the sheep
-in their fold, the doves in their
-cotes, and the poultry in the poultry
-yard, until all agreed that a Christmas
-tree would be a grand thing
-for wild and tame alike. Like the
-men they, too, would have a tree
-of their very own. But how to do
-it?</p>
-
-<p>Then the lion called a meeting of
-all the creatures, wild and tame,
-for you know the lion is king of<span class="pagenum" id="Page_10">[10]</span>
-beasts and when he calls they all
-must come. You know, too, that
-before and during and after these
-animal congresses, there is a royal
-peace. The lamb can come to the
-meeting and sit down by the wolf,
-and the wolf dare not touch him;
-the dove may perch on the bough
-between the hawk and the owl and
-neither will harm him, when the
-great king of beasts has summoned
-them all together to take counsel.
-But you know all about the rules
-of the animals, for you have read
-them in books, and you have seen
-the pictures: how the lion sits on
-his throne with a crown on one side<span class="pagenum" id="Page_11">[11]</span>
-of his head, and all the other
-creatures gather about&mdash;the elephant,
-and giraffe, the hippopotamus,
-the buffalo, wolves and tigers
-and leopards, foxes and deer, goats
-and sheep, monkeys and orang-outangs,
-parrots and robins and
-turkeys and swans and storks and
-eagles and frogs and lizards and
-alligators, and all the rest besides.</p>
-
-<p>Then, when the lion had called
-the meeting to order, the swifts
-and the swallows told what they
-had seen, and a fat little pug-dog,
-with a ribbon and a silver bell
-about his neck, wheezed out a
-story of a Christmas tree that he<span class="pagenum" id="Page_12">[12]</span>
-had seen, and how a silver bell had
-grown on that tree for him and a
-whole box of the best sweets he
-had ever dreamed of while he
-lay comfortably snoozing on his
-cushion before the fire. And a
-Persian cat, with her hair turned
-the wrong way, mewed out her
-story of a Christmas tree that she
-had attended, and how there was a
-white mouse made of cream cheese
-for her creeping about beneath
-the branches.</p>
-
-<p>Then the monkeys chattered
-and the elephants trumpeted, the
-horses neighed, the hyenas laughed,
-and each in its own way argued for<span class="pagenum" id="Page_13">[13]</span>
-a Christmas tree and told what
-they would do to help to make it.
-The elephant would go into the
-forest and choose the tree and pull
-it up. The buffaloes would drag
-it in. The giraffe would fix the
-ornaments on the higher limbs,
-because its neck was long. The
-monkeys would scramble up where
-the giraffe could not reach. The
-squirrels could run out on the slender
-twigs and help the monkeys.
-The birds would fly about and
-get the golden threads and put
-them on the tree with their beaks.
-The fire-flies would hide themselves
-among the branches and sparkle<span class="pagenum" id="Page_14">[14]</span>
-like diamonds, and the glow-worms
-promised to help the fire-flies by
-playing candles, if someone would
-lift them up and put them on the
-branches. The parrots and paroquets
-and other birds of gay
-plumage would give feathers to
-hang among the branches, and the
-humming-birds promised to flutter
-in and out among the twigs, and
-the sheep to give white wool to lie
-like snow among the boughs.</p>
-
-<p>Then the parrots screeched and
-the peacocks screamed with delight,
-and you and I never could have
-told whether anybody voted aye
-or nay; but the lion knew and the<span class="pagenum" id="Page_15">[15]</span>
-owl, for he was clerk, set it down
-in the minutes, as the lion bade
-him, that all the birds and beasts
-would do their part. So each
-planned what he could do. Even
-the little beetle, who makes great
-balls of earth, thought that if he
-could only once see one of those
-gay balls that grow on the children&#8217;s
-Christmas tree, he might
-make some for the animals&#8217; tree;
-different birds and beasts told of
-the oranges and apples and holly-berries
-and who knows what they
-could get and hang upon the tree.
-You see the animals came from
-many places, and then, too, they<span class="pagenum" id="Page_16">[16]</span>
-could send the carrier pigeons to
-go and bring fruit and berries, and
-who knows what besides, from oh,
-so far away, because the carrier
-pigeons can fly through the air
-no one knows how fast or how far.</p>
-
-<p>Well, I cannot tell you everything
-that each one was going to
-do, but if you will go and get your
-Noah&#8217;s ark and take the animals
-out one by one, then you surely
-will think it out for yourself, for
-you have all the animals there.</p>
-
-<p>And so they arranged how they
-would ornament the tree, and the
-next thing was to decide what
-presents should be hung on the<span class="pagenum" id="Page_17">[17]</span>
-tree or put beneath its boughs, for
-each one must have his present.
-Well, after much discussion in
-roars, and bellows, crows and
-croaks, lows and screams and
-bleats, and baas and grunts, and
-all the other sounds of bird and
-beast language, it was voted that
-each might choose the present he
-wished hung on the tree. The
-clerkly owl should call their names
-one by one, and each might declare
-his choice. So they began. The
-parrots and the macaws thought
-that they would like oranges and
-bananas and such things, which
-would look so pretty on the tree,<span class="pagenum" id="Page_18">[18]</span>
-too; and so they were arranged for.
-The robins and the cedar birds
-chose cherries; the partridges, partridge
-berries; the squirrels, red
-and gray and black, nuts and
-apples and pears. The monkeys
-said the popcorn strings would do
-for them, and the cats and dogs,
-remembering the Christmas gifts
-which the pug-dog and Persian cat
-had told about, asked for tiny
-mice made of cream cheese or
-chocolate. By and by it came
-the pig&#8217;s turn to tell his choice.
-&#8220;Grunt, grunt!&#8221; said the pig, &#8220;I
-want a nice pail of swill hung on
-the very lowest bough of all.&#8221;</p>
-
-
-
-<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_19">[19]</span>&#8220;Ugh!&#8221; said the black leopard,
-so sleek and so clean.</p>
-
-<p>&#8220;Faugh!&#8221; said the gazelle, with
-his dainty sense of smell.</p>
-
-<p>&#8220;Neigh!&#8221; said the horse, so
-daintily groomed.</p>
-
-<p>&#8220;What!&#8221; roared the lion, &#8220;what&#8217;s
-that you want?&#8221;</p>
-
-<p>&#8220;A pail of swill,&#8221; grunted the
-pig. &#8220;Each one has chosen what
-he wants, and I have a right to
-choose what I want.&#8221;</p>
-
-<p>&#8220;But,&#8221; roared the lion, &#8220;each
-one has chosen something beautiful
-to make the tree a joy to all.&#8221;</p>
-
-<p>&#8220;Grunt, grunt,&#8221; said the pig.
-&#8220;The parrots and the macaws are<span class="pagenum" id="Page_20">[20]</span>
-going to have oranges and bananas,
-and the robins and the cedar birds
-red cherries, the partridges their
-berries, the squirrels nuts and
-apples and pears, the dog and the
-cat their cream and chocolate mice.
-They all have what they want to
-eat. Grunt, grunt,&#8221; said he; &#8220;I
-will have what I want to eat, too,
-and what I want is a pail of swill.&#8221;</p>
-
-<p>Now, you see, it had been voted,
-as I told you, that each should
-choose what he wanted hung on
-the tree for him, and so the lion
-could not help himself. If the
-pig chose swill, swill he must have,
-and angrily he had to roar: &#8220;If<span class="pagenum" id="Page_21">[21]</span>
-the pig wants swill, a pail of swill
-he must have, hung on the lowest
-bough of the tree!&#8221;</p>
-
-<p>Then the wolf&#8217;s wicked eyes
-gleamed, for his turn was next, and
-he said: &#8220;If the pig has swill because
-he wants swill to eat, I
-must have what I want to eat, and
-I want a tender lamb, six months
-old.&#8221; And at that all the lambs
-and the sheep bleated and baaed.</p>
-
-<p>&#8220;Ha, ha!&#8221; barked the fox; &#8220;then
-I want a turkey!&#8221; And the turkeys
-gobbled in fear.</p>
-
-<p>&#8220;And I,&#8221; said the tiger, &#8220;want
-a yearling calf.&#8221; And the cows
-and the calves lowed in horror.</p>
-
-
-
-<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_22">[22]</span>&#8220;And I,&#8221; said the owl, the clerk,
-&#8220;I want a plump dove.&#8221;</p>
-
-<p>&#8220;And I,&#8221; said the hawk, &#8220;will
-take a rabbit.&#8221;</p>
-
-<p>&#8220;And I,&#8221; said the leopard, &#8220;want
-a deer or a gazelle.&#8221;</p>
-
-<p>Then all was fear and uproar.
-The hares and the rabbits scuttled
-into the grass; the gazelles and the
-deer bounded away; the sheep and
-cattle crowded close together; the
-small birds rose in the air in flocks;
-and the Christmas tree was like
-to have come to grief and ended,
-not in Christmas joy, but in fear
-and hatred and terror.</p>
-
-<p>Then a little timid lamb stepped<span class="pagenum" id="Page_23">[23]</span>
-out and bleated: &#8220;Ah! king lion,
-it would be very sad if all the
-animals should lose their Christmas
-tree, for the very thought of
-that tree has brought us closer
-together, and here we were, wild
-and tame, fierce and timid, met
-together as friends; and oh! king
-lion, rather than there should not
-be a tree, they may take me and
-hang me on it. Let them not take
-the turkeys and gazelles and the
-calves and the rabbits, and all the
-rest that they have chosen. Let
-the tigers and leopards, and wolves
-and foxes and eagles, and hawks
-and owls and all their kind be<span class="pagenum" id="Page_24">[24]</span>
-content that their Christmas present
-shall be a lamb; and so we
-may come together again and have
-our happy Christmas tree, and each
-have what he wishes.&#8221;</p>
-
-<p>&#8220;But,&#8221; said the lion, &#8220;what will
-you have? If you give yourself,
-then you will have no Christmas
-present.&#8221;</p>
-
-<p>&#8220;Yes,&#8221; said the lamb, &#8220;I, too,
-shall have what I want, for I shall
-have brought them all together
-again, and made each one happy.&#8221;</p>
-
-<p>Then a dove fluttered down
-from a tree and landed on the
-ground beside the lamb, and very
-timidly and softly she cooed:<span class="pagenum" id="Page_25">[25]</span>
-&#8220;Take me, too, king lion, as the
-present for the owls and the hawks,
-and the weasels and the minks,
-because for them a lamb is too big.
-I am the best present for them.
-Take me, king lion!&#8221;</p>
-
-<p>Then the lion roared: &#8220;See what
-the lamb and the dove have done!
-My food, oh, tigers and leopards
-and wolves and eagles and all your
-kind, is like your food; but I would
-rather eat nothing from our Christmas
-tree than take this lamb or
-this dove for my present.&#8221;</p>
-
-<p>Then all the beasts kept still, because
-the lion roared so loud and
-angrily, and the birds that were<span class="pagenum" id="Page_26">[26]</span>
-flying away settled on the branches
-of the trees, and the gazelles
-stopped their running and turned
-their heads to listen, and the
-rabbits peeped out through the
-grass and brush where they had
-hid. Then the lion turned to the
-pig, and roared:</p>
-
-<p>&#8220;See this lamb and this dove!
-Are you not ashamed for what you
-have done? You have spoiled all
-our happiness. Will you take
-back your choice, you pig, or do
-you wish to ruin our Christmas
-tree?&#8221;</p>
-
-<p>&#8220;Grunt, grunt,&#8221; said the pig,
-&#8220;it is my right. I want something<span class="pagenum" id="Page_27">[27]</span>
-good. I don&#8217;t care for your lambs
-and your doves. I want my swill!&#8221;</p>
-
-<p>Then the lion roared again:
-&#8220;Have all chosen?&#8221; and all answered,
-&#8220;Yes.&#8221;</p>
-
-<p>&#8220;Then,&#8221; said the lion, &#8220;it is my
-choice.&#8221;</p>
-
-<p>And all said: &#8220;It is.&#8221;</p>
-
-<p>&#8220;I love fat and tender pigs. I
-choose a pig for my Christmas
-gift,&#8221; roared the lion.</p>
-
-<p>Did you ever hear a pig squeal?
-Oh, how that pig squealed then!
-And he got up on his fat little legs
-and tried to run away, but all the
-animals gathered around in a ring
-and the hyenas laughed, and the<span class="pagenum" id="Page_28">[28]</span>
-jackals cried, and the dogs and the
-wolves and the foxes headed him
-off, and hunted the poor pig back
-again. Then, when the pig found
-that he could not run away, he lay
-down on his back with his feet in
-the air and squealed with all his
-might: &#8220;Oh, I don&#8217;t want the swill;
-oh, I don&#8217;t want the swill! I take it
-all back! I don&#8217;t want anything!&#8221;</p>
-
-<p>But at first no one heard him,
-because all were talking at once in
-their own way&mdash;barking and growling
-and roaring and chattering; but
-by and by the lion saw that the
-pig was squealing something, so he
-roared for silence, and then they<span class="pagenum" id="Page_29">[29]</span>
-all heard the pig squeal out that
-he did not want any swill. And
-the lion roared aloud: &#8220;You have
-heard. Has the owl recorded that
-the pig will have no swill?&#8221;</p>
-
-<p>&#8220;Yes,&#8221; said the owl.</p>
-
-<p>&#8220;Then,&#8221; said the lion, &#8220;record
-that the lion wants no pig.&#8221;</p>
-
-<p>Then the tiger growled: &#8220;And
-I want no calf,&#8221; and one by one
-the leopard and the eagle, the wolf
-and the fox, the hawk and the owl,
-and all their kind, took back their
-votes.</p>
-
-<p>And so it came about that the
-animals did have a Christmas tree
-after all; but instead of hanging<span class="pagenum" id="Page_30">[30]</span>
-lambs and doves upon the tree,
-they agreed that they could hang
-little images of lambs and doves,
-and other birds and animals, too,
-perhaps. And by and by the
-custom spread until the humans
-came to hang the same little images
-on their trees, too, and when you
-see a little figure of a lamb or a
-dove on the Christmas tree, you
-may know that it is all because
-the lamb and the dove, by their
-unselfishness, saved the animals
-from strife; for neither thought
-what he wanted from the tree, but
-each was ready to give himself for
-the others, so that they might not<span class="pagenum" id="Page_31">[31]</span>
-fight and kill one another at the
-Christmas time.</p>
-
-<p>Was it not cruel of the wolves
-and tigers and leopards and foxes
-to wish to eat the doves and sheep
-and rabbits and hares? But after
-all, the worst one of the lot, I think,
-was the pig; for the pig began the
-trouble, because he only thought of
-what Mr. Pig wanted for himself.</p>
-
-<p>And do you know, I think that
-after all that is the trouble everywhere.
-We can get along all right
-if the pig will only keep away, for
-when the pig comes and begins to
-think what he can get for himself,
-without thinking of the pleasure<span class="pagenum" id="Page_32">[32]</span>
-and the comfort of anyone else,
-why, then the fun is all spoiled, and
-pretty soon all sorts of bad tempers
-and bad passions are let loose.</p>
