Part 1
A long, long time ago, I
can still remember, lived two women on the moon. One of them was
called Madonna, and the other one was Verity. You're surely asking
yourself now: “How could they possibly live on the moon?”, but I
already told you how: Because it was a long, long time ago, at the
time that we all could decide to live on the moon.
On a snowy evening one day
before Christmas, Verity came back from a long walk. She had been
searching for a Christmas tree. But she hadn't found one. She heard
the ancient gramophone in the living room playing “Angel”.
“Hi, Madge!”, Verity
yelled.
“Hi”, Madonna sang
while hanging golden angel wings onto a cupboard. The whole room was
covered with them. “Did you get the Christmas tree?”, she asked.
“Unfortunately not”,
Verity replied in a sad voice and looked onto the floor.
“But Christmas is
tomorrow!”, Madonna said shockedly.
“I know. But it's just
that all the Christmas trees are sold already. And the next trees
from earth won't come here until next year”, Verity said quietly.
Madonna didn't answer. The
Christmas trees all came from earth because, as you already know, on
the moon, there don't grow Christmas trees.
“I'm really sorry. But
let's try something else, maybe we'll get a tree from anyone else.”
“No, I have a better
idea”, Madonna said with a smile on her face.

On Saturday morning, my Andy and I went to the farm and found a fir tree he cut down for me. I wanted a tall tree for all the years I haven't had Christmas, for various reasons other than enthusiasm. The farm has more than million trees, and we took home the one we found, it looked small in nature but huge in my place. We cut the bottom off and left it to decompose to nurture other trees. We decorated it and I thought I had bought beaucoup lights, but I had to double the lights. It looks lovely and I'm very happy to have a Christmas tree this Christmas.
