A young tree was tired of staying in the shade and wanted to travel and bear star dust on its branches. It began climbing higher and higher, leaving its friends behind, until it was alone on a rock. Feeling lonely, it asked if anyone would accompany it. Santa Claus overheard and asked why it was upset. When the tree said it was lonely and wanted to play with children, Santa Claus gave it to a family with children who decorated it with stars and toys for Christmas Eve, fulfilling the tree's dream.
