The Fir-tree

"The Fir-tree" by Gustav von Putlitz unfolds as a linden tree coaxes a gruff, prickly fir into sharing what he knows about Winter. What begins as a testy exchange among the trees of a forest opens into a sweeping myth: how the Seasons divided the earth, how leaves and flowers fell into secret love, and why the fir tree alone stands evergreen through the cold. At its heart is a bittersweet meditation on Christmas joy, the fleeting gold of childhood, and what endures after the decorations fall.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ririro-com-kids-stories-6-10-years--6564597/support.
