The Fir Tree

A little fir at the forest edge wants nothing but to be tall - and every wish it is granted arrives too late to be enjoyed. You are the one visitor who stops for the smallest tree in the wood: Andersen's 1844 tale told from the moss beside its roots, as the axes start in the taller stands and the swallows describe ships with trees for masts.
