Once upon a time there was an apple tree that grew up
The side of a tall spruce. The apple tree used to look up at the spruce and think: - If I were as tall as that spruce, I would be happy.
He reaches right up to the beautiful stars.
The more the apple tree thought, the more relaxed it became in the branches. He became sadder as time went on.
Then a child came by. He saw that the apple tree looked very sad, so he asked what was the matter. The apple tree pointed to the fir tree and said:
- Look at the fir tree - how lucky he is to be so tall that he reaches all the way up to the beautiful stars.
Then the child carefully took an apple from one of the branches. He cut it in two and said to the apple tree:
- You don't have to be sad. You carry a star inside you!
