It was a happy time for the ugly duckling.
[THE LITTLE PINE TREE]
| pine | leaves | other |
| woods | needles | better |
| fairy | gold | sleep |
A little pine tree was in the woods.
It had no leaves. It had needles.
The little tree said, "I do not like needles. All the other trees in the woods have pretty leaves. I want leaves, too. But I will have better leaves. I want gold leaves."
Night came and the little tree went to sleep. A fairy came by and gave it gold leaves.

When the little tree woke it had leaves of gold.
