Watch Me Grow

There were beautiful trees all over the neighborhood. By any objective standard, the Harpers' tree was not one of one of these gorgeous trees. Many of these trees were festooned with elaborate Christmas decorations. Mary Harper, the little seven year old thought their lonely little tree should be adorned as well. There really were not a lot of branches to hang ornaments on or to decorate in the usual way. But when the family started to show the little sapling attention, branches amazingly began to sprout. Soon, the Harpers had the prettiest, most wonderfully bedecked tree in the entire neighborhood.
