The giraffe had never seen a tree with colored balls and lights. It came from a far away land where people did not use as we celebrate Christmas. He wondered if those shiny apples were so good to eat.
- Stop! - Shouted an owl that was passing by. - Are you crazy? You can not eat the balls of the tree ... The giraffe turned to the bird, along with a long neck and a smile a bit 'silly on its face.
- Are you serious? Yet look very delicious ...
- are made of glass, do not you see?
- But I thought it was the fruit of the tree. Where I was born there are not so funny ...
- is a christmas tree, a fir tree that is dressed for Christmas. Here we use to do so - said the owl, believed to wise and learned more than any other animal.
- And why? - Then asked the giraffe, which had passed the mouth water.
- Well, actually ... - Stammered the owl did not know how to respond.
- Ah, I understand it, you know ...
- not true, I know everything! - Said the injured owl.
- So why? - Insisted the giraffe.
- of course, to warn us night birds. In winter it is so dark you can not see well, then people bring reports on the trees. I'm really comfortable ...
- What to do with Christmas? - Said the giraffe, who did not believe the owl.
- Well, because ... - Again the owl did not know how to respond.
- Do not you know? - She asked, smiling maliciously.
- Of course you know ... - Hastened to refute the owl. - It's a religious issue. Men need to protect our birds very important because we are animals, or as they say them, we are "sacred animals."
The giraffe looked stiff and the owl could not suppress a laugh.
- What are you laughing? - Then asked the bird.
- Oh no, it's just that I think a reason a little silly ...
- Well, you do not have a point. But now no one is surprised most of the oddities of men.
The Christmas tree is a pagan tradition embedded in Christianity and means rebirth.
Merry Christmas!
