Once upon a time in a small forest on the outskirts of Tulsa, Oklahoma deep in the woods there lived a unique tree. Although there were many other trees that grew in the forest this tree was very different because it didn't grow like the other trees. It was tall, thin, and had very few branches and needles. One day some men came through the forest to cut down some of the trees. Christmas was coming in four days and they needed some trees to take back to the Christmas tree lot. They cut down lots of trees from the forest when one of the workers came across the awkward looking tree. "Look at this awkward looking tree," said the worker. "I don't think we should take this tree back to the lot". Another worker replied, "It is a weird looking tree but lets take it anyway and we'll sell it very cheap". So the worker cut down the tree. "No one is going to buy this ugly tree", he said as he threw it on the back of the truck. They all laughed, but little did they know, the weird looking tree had magical powers.
