'The talking Christmas tree'

There was once a little Christmas tree, but not any tree.
This tree was in the city square, surrounded by a market, it was full of lights, objects, etc...
All the families that passed there stayed in front of the tree to see it.

One day, a boy went to visit the tree; the boy had a problem but he had no one to tell, so he decided to tell the tree.
He realized that the tree wouldn't listen to him, but he didn't care; he just needed to tell someone, so one day at night, when the streets where empty, the boy ran to the tree to tell him about his problem.

'Hi, Christmas tree', I know that you can't hear me or speak, and if you did, you wouldn't understand me, but maybe with your magic you can help me'
'Tell me Tom'-said the tree.
'Well the other day...'

'Wait, WHAT! YOU CAN TALK!'
'Yes', said the tree with a smile.
'But, HOW!? HOW DO YOU KNOW MY NAME'!?
'See... people created me to be able to help children at this time, but apart from that, they created me to talk to someone in particular',
'With me?-shouted Tom.
'I suppose so - thought the tree.
'So... I'm special right? right?'
'Yes'.

'Oh my god I'm special, oh my god I'm special and I'm talking with a Christmas tree, this is impossible'.
'No it's not'-answer the tree.
'Again... I'll be dreaming...'
'Ahh'-sighed the tree. 'Come on, I'm still waiting to know your problem'.

'Oh my god I'm special, oh my god I'm special and I'm talking with a Christmas tree, this is impossible'.
'No it's not'-answered the tree.
'Again... I'll be dreaming...'
'Ahh'-sighed the tree. 'Come on, I'm still waiting to know your problem'.

'True!, I forgot it'. 'Well, the other day I was walking down the street and I saw a beautiful snowman made of cloth, and I thought, that must be mine! so I went into the store and I asked a man who was there how much it cost, it cost 60.57 dollars, and I just have 50.27 dollars, CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?!

'And how can I help you?'
'I don't know... Maybe you can buy me the snowman'.
'No Tom , I can´t help you with that'.
'Oh- said Tom sadly. So, what should I do?'
'You have to think of an idea to buy the snowman and to earn money'.
'But, how?'
You can clean peoples houses, for example; or things like that'.
'Ok, I promise you that the next time I come to see you I will have my snowman'.

1 Week later

'Christmas tree, Chirstmas tree, look!, I HAVE THE SNOWMAN!'
'Ohhh! great! I was sure you would get it!'
'Yes!! I'm very happy!!''
'I see'- said the tree laughing. This is thanks to you, thank you very much Christmas tree, I will never forget you -said Ben while he went to his house.

And this is how Tom and the Christmas tree became friends
