His branches were bare and plain whereas the pine tree was decorated with tinsel and glit ter. The apple tree complained to God and God said to the apple tree that he would give the tree a special gift. Betsy doesn't remember the remainder of the story, but God ended up putting a Christmas star in the heart of each apple. If you cut an apple crosswise, you will find a perfectly shaped five point star in the heart of the apple. Betsy would like to have the complete story of how the star came to appear in the center of the apple. Thanks to Carolyn Zachariaa, Lehighton, who sent the fol lowing version. She also remembers her minister telling a dif ferent version of the story several years ago. Once upon a time, there was a little star in the sky. This little star was not happy. It wanted to have a home with no windows and no doors and a little brown chimney. The star came down to earth and went into the woods. It met a bear. "Do you know where I can find a home with no windows, no doors, and a little brown chimney?" it asked. Mr. Bear said, *No, but why don't you ask Mr. Fox?" So the star asked Mr. Fox. "Do you know where I can find a home with no windows, no doors, and a a little brown chimney?” Mr. Fox said no, but told the star to ask Mr. Owl So the star asked Mr. Owl. “Do you know where I can find a house with no windows, no doors, and a little brown chimney?" Mr. Owl said, ‘Don’t you know, little star, of the perfect place you are looking for?” Now, separate the two halves of the apple. What do you see? Surprise! The chimney Is the stem. 255 PLANE TREE DRIVE LANCASTER, PA 17603 (717) 393-5807 vV m ' s *"* N UncMttr Farming, Saturday, Soptambar 10,1M4-817 **** * E.
