PUBLISHER: THIS CHRISTMAS, ANSLEM WANTS A CHRISTMAS TREE MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE IN THE WORLD. HE WANTS “TO TOUCH IT AND SMELL IT AND GET A FEEL AND A SMELL OF REAL CHRISTMAS.” BUT THERE ARE NO CHRISTMAS TREES IN THE WEST INDIES WHERE ANSLEM LIVES. HE MUST DEPEND ON THE BOAT THAT BRINGS EVERGREENS FROM THE NORTH. IN PAST YEARS, THE TREES ARRIVED FRESH AND GREEN. BUT THIS YEAR, THE FIRST YEAR HIS FAMILY CAN AFFORD A TREE, THE EVERGREENS ARE SO DRY THAT NOT A SINGLE TREE HAS A SINGLE NEEDLE ON IT. ANSLEM IS DEEPLY DISAPPOINTED, UNTIL HI NEIGHBOR, MISS MARY, SHOWS HIM THAT THE WEST INDIES HAVE A BEAUTIFUL CHRISTMAS TREE OF THEIR OWN.
